When it All Goes Down....

A wonderful list of things to have handy on the road to Armageddon can be found at Say Uncle's site.

I would also recommend the Kool-Aid that has already been pre-sweetened with Nutrasweet. Because that stuff lasts forever.

A few authors I would also recommend at the Apocalypse: James Thurber, Terry Pratchett, Joe Bob Briggs, Christopher Moore, Joe Lansdale, Jane Smiley and even Harlan Ellison. Say Uncle also supplied Douglas Adams, and that's hitting the nail right on the head. Joe Klein and Al Franken might also be good, but since it's likely that it's the politicos that would bring us to the brink, we might not want to be reminded.

Also: Rowdy Roddy Piper's autobiography, the complete line of Star Wars books from Bantam and Del Rey, and John Kennedy Toole's Confederacy of Dunces.
