The Five-Year Guide to Self-Sufficiency by Amelia Barrows non-fiction. Year by year, a clear plan is laid out to become self-sufficient, from gardening (what to start out with and what to add as the years go by) to livestock (chickens, goats, cattle, bees, sheep, and more) to canning and bottling to alternative energy. This basic guide fascinated me but also assured me I'm not up for the challenge. I have trouble keeping "hard-to-kill" houseplants alive. I've had one successful garden. It was labor intensive and was lost the following year to bugs. I also don't have the space. Fascinating.
