I'm thinking of revisiting the Foundation books by Asimov, as well as some weird random survivalist books, and anything in the post apocalyptic genre, but then again I could just watch the news these days.
If you have any suggestions for post apocalyptic books I'd be happy to hear them. (less)

Chris’s Quotes

“Maybe there aren't any such things as good friends or bad friends - maybe there are just friends, people who stand by you when you're hurt and who help you feel not so lonely. Maybe they're always worth being scared for, and hoping for, and living for. Maybe worth dying for too, if that's what has to be. No good friends. No bad friends. Only people you want, need to be with; people who build their houses in your heart.”
― Stephen King, It
