And you are scrambling 
to get into your ultra safe bunker. Due to space limitations...you know food and water and clothes and survival stuff, your room for extras is limited. Really you have room for 5 books and 5 cd's (one of the harbingers of this doomsday scenario is an EMP, so stating you are bringing your iPod with eleventy billion songs is out...my rules).
Oh...and one person...you know to restart the human race
So who and what do you bring? Keep in mind the music and books you choose will impact all the future little minds of the new world.
And so will the person you will be humping.
.
Yeah, you could be noble and bring the old lady
or the hubby you want to 
often or you could start with a whole new person you will dislike 5 years down the road.
So what say you?

Red Hot chili peppers "Mother's Milk" Fleetwood Mac's "rumors", Jack Johnson's "Sleep through the static", Any Bob Marley compilation and something by Tracy Chapman, which covers all my moods.

as for the spouse, I would bring my fiance of course...he's very stable, works hard, has patience, is a great father...but lets be honest, I would totally bring someone from Mensa, or someone that can do back breaking labour (if we get out of the bunker) and not complain about it.0 -

This is a hard one.
After thinking about it, I have to admit that I must be selfish, b/c if I were worried about future minds,
I'd pick things in different languages, the Rosetta Stone, etc. what will future minds do w/o cuneiform (sp)?
- Franny and Zooey- salinger
- White Teeth - zadie smith
- Wild Sheep Chase - haruki murakami
- Ulysses - finally! time to read some joyce...
- Dictionary
Ye Olde Music. so hard to pick just five! I'm going to cheat - I'm spacey so I often have 2,3 cds stuffed into one case. :laugh:
Like the cat owner (above) I'm willing to sacrifice. I'll cut off an arm for more music.

-Looks like it's Jack or Mark (Daniels or Makers) :huh:
But seriously - should probably be someone taller than me (most adult males qualify, except those munchkins, SHANNON, and for other reason, not that last one that went off-grid - no call, no text, no e-mail :explode: ) with good eyesight, not allergic to everything and has fewer neuroses than i. :laugh:
ETA: WAIT we get movies? I'll trade for more music, since I already gave up an arm. Add the following:
