Each one of these books catered to my desire to learn more about hypothetical scenarios and checked the box in the action column that kept everything interesting. I lived through an EMP attack and the threat of biker gangs in William Forstchen’s One Second After and traveled cross country with Bishop in Joe Nobody’s Holding Their Own. I read about an Economic Collapse in James Wesley Rawles’ book, Patriots and how Todd and Mary and their survival group had prepared for events like this with a fully stocked retreat. It is fiction, but with a dose of reality because in most of these books we have history to fall back on for a lot of the nastier things humans can do when confronted with a crisis. I was the humble leader who quietly assumed the responsibility for protecting my family against a wide array of obstacles, threats and challenges. When I was new to Prepping, I read several books for different perspectives and imagined myself in the same scenarios as the protagonists. I love reading books about post-apocalyptic situations, seeing how the author envisions everything going down and how people in the story cope during times of trials.
