Just read the history of the revolutionary army during 1776, which you wouldn't think would be interesting until you read how badly they f--d up at first. Books about the future of energy and the collapse of society. All time favorite: Slaughterhouse 5, Dubliners, Reality Sandwiches, Notes on Underground.
Kurt Vonnegut!
