I have an upcomming surgery and will be on my arse for a few weeks; so i will need a few new books. I'm looking for suggestions for books of any class(fiction non fiction etc) but within the self sufficiency and woodcrafty arena. Thanks for any hot leads guys.
 
I enjoyed this one a lot. The First Hundred Years of Nino Cochise

I need to update these photos since the shelves are now not so neat and orginized and are overflowing with books. I find I can only read one "guide" type book to atleast 2 novels. I like a good survival fiction or zombie read. That being said:

In fiction:
Deep winter and the entire series. Im actually rereading it again after just finishing "the infection".
Lights out
Alas babylon
One second after
Mad swine
Molon labe
**online only, and had to print my own copy to 3 ring binders or 19hole punch, these stories are found on many prepardness/ survival sites
Effies farm
Cold camp
the bug out (written by the same guy as lights out above)
lost and found
TEOTWAWKI (not the Rawles one)
Triple ought (later published as "patriots" by James Rawles)


As for the "guide" goods
The encyclopedia to country living- this is a must have, but good luck reading it all, I have 2 differnt versions
The foxfire series. Some get a little deep on religion just as a warning
The backyard homestead
The handbook to practical disaster prepardness for the family
No such thing as doomsday
The secure home (the author lives just down the street from me) GOOD book with ALOT of info as well.
Bugout. More of a book to get you thinking.
Wilderness living and survival skills
Where there is no doctor and dentist
98.6 degrees- Cody Lundin
Survive- Les Stroud
Most John Seymore and "Storey guidebooks"

Good luck with your surgery, hope you have a good recovery. Hopefully it will not be too bad.

Carol Berg has a really good 3 book series -Transformation, Revalation, Restoration.
Also the Sword of Truth is a 12 book series that I heard is THE BEST but I have never read it myself.
 
if your into axes, i just picked up 'The Axe Book' by dudley cook. good read IMO...
with it i also got 'Wildwood Wisdom'.
 
Louis Lamour novels are fun, quick(some), and cheap entertainment. Last of the Breed, Walking Drum, Bendigo Shafter, Lonesome Gods... those are some of the longer novels I enjoyed.
 
The "Earth's Children" series by Jean M. Auel is great. It's set in prehistoric Europe and features a Homo Sapiens girl raised by Neanderthals. Lots of survival content!

Frosty
 
Ok fellas great advice all the way around, i picked up les strouds book survive and wild wood wisdon by jeager as well as another one whose name is sorta escaping me.
 
Just few pain old survival/self reliance books I've read that are pretty good-

"Naked in the Wilderness-Primitive Living and Survival Skills" by John & Geri McPhearson
"Build the Perfect Survival Kit" by John McCann
"Surviving Cold Weather" by Greg Davenport
"wildwood Wisdom" by Ellsworth Jaeger
'Outdoor Survival Handbook'-by Ray Mears
'Camping in the Old Style" by David Wescott

...and don't forget to consider going back to some Jack London or even Laura Ingalls Wilder, Little House In the Big Woods is usually read in the 6th grade or so but its a really good story of a pioneer family settling in the deep woods during I believe the 1840's. Or if they ever did a book of Jeremiah Johnson thats always a good tale. Hope these suggestions help a bit. I wish something would come up in my life that could force me to sit down with a few good books.
