>lets say there was a breakdown of society and the land descended into chaos under the rule of violent mobs. Your'e living in a makeshift monastery which used to be a library but the barbarian plebs are at the gates and will soon fuck every fart out of your tender asshole. You have time to escape with the complete works of ONE author. Who do you choose n why?

The nearest library to me has walls that are mainly 2-story windows; it's the last place in which I'd be hiding from barbarians or anyone else.

With that said I'd run in and grab the complete novels of James Ellroy before finding a secure place to hide, and then I'd daydream about rebuilding the screaming violent corrupt US of his mythos.
