List which books you'll want to have in your personal library at home after the collapse of civilization.
Me personally, I'd want a complete copy of the Classical Gredos collection, probably some of the late antiquity authors like Boethius, some Medievals including Ibn Tufayl, and Juan de la Cruz, and early moderns like Rosseau and Machiavelli.
I'm currently reading a world history series from the Editorial Siglo XXI and I'm liking it as well.

Summa Theologica

Works And Days
A complete Xenophon

During Covid I bought a lot of Dostoevsky books in case society collapsed.

In the event of the apocalypse you're going to want to know how to start a fire, how to build shelter, and what's safe or not to eat, before you worry about what frivolous bullshit you choose to fritter your time away with. I suggest you read some literature on how to survive in a life or death situation such as picrelated. I also propose putting an archive of books like these on thumbdrives, encasing them in lead-lined Faraday cages, and burying them in strategic locations to be accessed in the event of a worldwide cataclysm.

I forgot to add, it's essential to also keep an unused laptop (in new and modern day condition) w/ an open source copy of Windows 7 on a CD in a lead-lined Faraday safe, and have a source of electricity in the event of the power permanently going out.

If there's atomic war I'm going to be sure I'm located at the epicenter of the explosion so that I am instantly vaporized together with my anime figures. You have fun living the rest of your days through nuclear winter

You know we will all just return to village medieval life, right? The collapse of civilization will be gradual, not sudden.
