Those that recommended 'One Second After'

[gnihcraes]

Oh vey. Just finished One Second After. Now on second double Scotch. Scariest damn thing I've ever read. Wife is at Costo with orders to stock up. I'm not sure yet if I'll ask her to read it.

Wife should read it. Mine did and it helped with my prepping.

Glad this thread was bumped, I kinda forgot about reading this one, I am going to the library to check it out this week.

[Heep72]

I wonder if it is on the kindle. Gonna check it out.

[van7559]

anyone have a copy of this they want to unload for a decent price? I would rather give my money to a board member.

Have a kindle?

[Great-Kazoo]

Have a kindle?

I do. Read 1sec after already. However not opposed to having in the library.

All I've gleaned from all these TEOTWAWKI books and movies and such is that I have no intention of surviving TEOTWAWKI.

The minute it becomes clear to me that society has collapsed, I intend to take out my vengeance upon every liberal in the immediate vicinity until someone takes me out and I can go on to the next world which will be a damn sight better than this one.

Nah, don't do that. Be a part of the solution with a like minded group of people.

I guess my point is that I'm going to spend my energy and efforts in trying to PREVENT TEOTWAWKI, but once it happens I could care less about survival. I was born in latter 20th century United States of America ... a place with high speed internet, HD television, hot & cold running water and free market capitalism ... I'm not going to live in a backward third world shit hole.

I can't entirely disagree with that... but if it does happen, I'll still do my best to "live" as comfortably and safely as I can.

I'm afraid to think that a lot of people will have the same recognition when they realize there's no "end in sight", and things won't be back to the way they used to be... A lot of them will lose their sense of community and morality and will take it out on strangers violently. Others might just collapse internally and take it out on themselves via suicide, murder-suicide, etc.. Regardless of possibilities and "what ifs", TEOTWAWKI will be a devastating turn of events we can only pray doesn't happen in our lifetimes, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be prepared for a few months of self sufficiency if necessary.
