Books:
1. World’s Oldest Health Plan: Health, Nutrition and Healing from the Bible by Kathleen O’Bannon Baldinger
2. A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller
3. Collected Works of Willa Cather

Movies:
1. American Sniper
2. Sarah, Plain and Tall
3. Noah

The movie Noah was so awful, the less said about it, the better, although I did enjoy the scenes showing the inside of the ark.
Sarah, Plain and Tall and the stories of Willa Cather are about strong pioneer women in the 19th century. Yes, people did survive by the sweat of the brow, without cars or walmart or central air and heat. I loved these works for entertainment value, but also as survival resources. How people did things “back then” may come in handy in a possible grid-down future.
A Canticle for Leibowitz is just the greatest unabashedly Catholic post-nuclear dystopian novel ever, IMO.
