>>Love something well enough to save it. That which survived through the Dark Ages were the things people cared enough to save – cultural traditions, literature, music, philosophical thoughts, science, and technology.<<
This is a big part of the reason why I have so many books--and didn't want to live with them in a city. :/ For years my top two acquisition rules when it came to books were (1) Do I want to read this?, and (2) Is this worth saving in case of a collapse?
Of course I know in a bad collapse there's a better than even chance the books won't make it through, or I might have to abandon them. But as long as there's a chance of preserving them, then I'll fight for them.
