When someone recommends a book I usually write it down. If the book should happen to be fiction and related to the total collapse of society I usually buy it right away. This is snapshot of my current "doom" reading list.
- Lucifer's Hammer
- Ecotopia
- Five Acres and Independence
- The Collapse of Civilization - The Seed of the Future
- Plan B 3.0 - Mobilizing to Save Civilization
- The Fifth Sacred Thing

i love ecotopia, can't wait to read the Fifth Sacred thing, and let me recommend to you a great post-apocalyptic book called "fatal harvest" taking place in the Seattle area. coincidentally I have long wanted to make a movie about a post-apocalyptic world in which survivors of the collapse leave cities and find "sustainable communities" thriving, and which take them in. When I read this book, i was blown away that it had already been written! :)
by the way there are two books out there called Fatal Harvest. The one I am talking about is not to be confused with the one about Agriculture.
Here's a link to Amazon:

I'd add Farnham's Freehold - Heinlen
Pulling Through by Dean Ing is a great read, and Dean has added all of his how-to information to the back of the novel. It is very informative. It is out of print but you can get a copy of it from online used bookstores for about $20 in good shape. Well worth it. One of those books that teaches while it entertains.
