Book suggestions sticky

[scout1067]

I am surprised that no one has mentioned Footfall another great catastrophe book from the team of Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle. It is about alien invasion but has some great tips within the story line.

I also second "Patriots" by Rawles. it is a great story with a lot of good tips too. Sort of an entertaining how-to-guide.

Life As We Knew It - Susan Beth Pfeffer

A meteor hits the moon and knocks it closer to earth. Tsunamis, earthquakes and volcanoes begin. One family tries to survive in the new reality. Youth fiction, excellent quick read.

Veronica

There is a second novel now called The Dead and the Gone . And there's a third book coming out next year.


May I also recommend The Long Winter by Laura Ingalls Wilder. One hot August day, when the last thing on the minds of most, the native Dakota people came to town to warn the settlers that seven months of blizzards were coming (1880-1881) and they weren't kidding! Very good story for all ages.

Solar Flare by Larry Burkett

It's a great book with lots of science that tells what it might be like to experience EMPs due to solar flares. The science is presented in a way that those of us with no interest in that field can still understand. That plus the intermingling of conservative Christian principles made me love it. It makes you think. This book won't take off to a fantasy world. It starts out slow, but soon grabbed me where I couldn't put it down. But then, I am fascinated with bygone eras where there are no modern conveniences, so of course, it gets a big thumbs up from me.

1984 -George Orwell

I am probably the only person here who has not already read it!

I just finished "Atlas Shrugged" and "1984" is the perfect follow-up companion read.

I'll second 'The Long Winter' by Laura Ingalls Wilder. In fact, the whole series of Little House books are great reads. Not just for kids, although they are written for a kid to understand. They have lots of good info on frontier living to be gleaned from them.

I just finished "The Patriot - surviving the coming collapse" and "This book could save your life" and "The poor Mans james Bond" and "Che Guevara" and "FM 5-25 Explosives and Demolition"

All must reads!

I actually got most of them either off of Amazon.com or Ebay and I just ran over to the local military surplus and the local Good will and bought about 30 books for under 40 dollars.

I haven't ever really shopped at a thrift store but they sell books there for like a quarter. I also found some books written years ago about home maintanance and living off the land
Oh , that is another really good book- Living on an acre

The used books on Amazon are really cheap, and every one I've ever bought off there surprised me at how really good shape it was in!

Another good one is "Beginning of Sorrows"...follows several characters in different story lines that intertwine, about the Beast coming to power. The first book in the Omega Trilogy, this one starts when Project Final Unity, an electrical blackout covertly contrived by political leaders gets out of control, shutting down the entire U.S. and bringing about chaos, anarchy, and famine.

I just looked on Amazon, and the 2nd in the series (Fallen Stars, Bitter Waters) came out in 2000, but they are not going to release #3, because they apparently didn't have enough sales of the first one.

I was wondering if anyone can create a book suggestion sticky and the members add to it. I see several books recommended in various threads but then it gets lost in the shuffle.I know I want to read "patriots" I think it is and "The creature" There were several others that were mentioned in threads last night. Something called John Galt or a book with that charater in it.What other books along these lines would you all recommend?ThanksBG
