    One Second After is probably one of the best books I have EVER read.

    William R Forstchen is the author. If your into History at all, especially American history, he also wrote To Try Men's Souls. VERY good book as well.

    Another vote for 'One Second After' and 'Lucifer's Hammer' (which I am re-reading now)
    Let me know when you cry. There is a section of the book that has made every guy I know who read it get misty eyed at the bare minimum.

My cousin [female] cried on the plane from CA to NJ when she read it. Said people thought she was nuts.

    One of the best books I have ever read bar none!
    Darn you guys! Now I'm going to have to hunt this down to see what all the fuss is about.

    I have been a voracious reader my whole life, so it's nice to see a thread for books. Nice to know some people still read just for the hell of it.

    On another note- I read Patriots too.
    I have to say I'm about 60/40 against. I thought some of it was interesting to think about, and I liked how he went with a more possible financial meltdown, as opposed to the usual other stuff.
    After that, I thought it was pure fantasy, and really unbelievable at points.

    Literary trash. Very religious.

    Recommend The Modern Survival Manual: Surviving the Economic Collapse written by a man who actually survived the economic collapse in Argentina.

    The Road (did not like as well as I thought I would have)

    Patriots (lots of tips and suggestions on prepping. The author of this book also has a website, survivalblog.com)
