It would just be a bunch of practical books on shit like cabin maintenance and repair, farming, herbal medicine and self treatment, gardening, and emergency survival guides. Mainly because I don't currently have the skills to be a self sufficient woods hermit so would be spending a lot of time grinding up my survival skills to not die. As such I doubt I would have room in my 10 book budget for anything that isn't practical and directly related to my material survival.
