Imagine you had 72 hours before everything collapses. How would you spend that time? Would you stockpile supplies? Would you focus on warning as many people as possible? Would you try to preserve knowledge, like books, hard drives, download internet archives, etc.? Would you collect music or history?

What do you know?

WHAT DO TOU KNOW?

Also, I already have my own little library so I'm set on that end. I probably would just get get blitzed and enjoy myself with my husband those last three days.

I have books on everything from "doctoring where there is no doctor" to scavenging the local area to encyclopedias, etc.

My library is for the survivors. I harbor no delusion that I am likely to be among them. (And, in the mean time, I just like books.)
