Pre-and-post Collapse reading list: Hemingway

Hemingway library
I like the idea of matching his library even if it is in digital form on a Kindle.  Print is safer if we face an EMP attack but whatever it takes to give you the means of entertainment and intellectual stimulation if things get sporty and few options exist.  Reading these titles now will give you some great insight into a culture we are losing.  Getting audio copies of these books on CD or MP3 might also be a nice addition to your collection.  Whatever it takes to read even if by the oral tradition you read a book that is read to you, it is better than not reading at all.  Audio can save your eyes.

Another book I will recommend as a history primer.

Paul Revere's Ride
By David Hackett Fischer

It will open your eyes to what really happened at Lexington and Concord.
