Great recommendation on Lucifer’s Hammer. More of a TEOTWAWKI movel. I just read it earlier this year. Found it on a free online library and downloaded it. Read it in two nights.
Not sure about Conservative principles in that though, other than not depending on the government to save your a** when things get bad.
Next question is what would be best reader for all these great free online libraries! I have not gotten an e-reader, but with all these great choices, I am thinking I should load one up for me :)
