Only thing I'm short on right now is .50 BMG ammo (unfortunately I lack the kind of piece that fires it, so I didn't get any), and good fiction books to pass the time. Can someone suggest me a couple good doorstoppers or collections worth getting ?
William R. Forstchen's three part series of "One Second After," "One Year After" and "The Final Day" is a gripping look at rebuilding civilization after a very effective EMP attack. The problems only begin when the power goes permanently off.
A fantastic series. One Second After did much to complete my wake-up 9 years ago. Recommended reading for everybody along with Glenn Becks Agenda 21 series.
Project Gutenberg has thousands of books for free download in your favorite formats. Archive.org has millions of items. There are also a number of Usenet newsgroups that have books you can download, although the main poster was arrested a few years ago. That guy was uploading hundreds of books every single day, 365 days a year, for a good number of years. Being an aspie, I had to download all of them, regardless of subject.
I prefer paper books, and I have a huge library. But I can't afford to buy all the ones I want. So I download all I can.
A cheap 7" Fire tablet, 128GB microSD cards, and a small solar setup eliminates the power worries. I bought my tablet on a Thanksgiving sale for $29.99. Amazing price for what you get.

C'mon, man, I said fiction. We might be on the cusp of experiencing this for real. Thanks for the tip, though.
Isaac Asimov Foundation series. Tangentially related to what's going on today as well.

I'm very interested. Though I'm more partial to the good ol' paper books. For the feel, and in case the power grid gets hit in my area.
