As a random thought experiment, the hubby and I are compiling what we call "The Zombie Apocalypse Reading List," which is meant to be a list of the books that would be essential to preserve a large swathe of the diversity of human history, culture, and knowledge about everything from fishing techniques and emergency surgery to genetics and calculus. We came up with this amusement after reading about the book vault Norway is building as a sort of companion to the seed bank maintained there.
So, what books would you recommend that would contain at least the basics of human knowledge for future preservation? What would you want to keep? What do you think could be let go (or should be let go of)?
