Hurricanes suck. My mom got all freaked out about this damn thing that may not even hit here and at who knows what strength if it does. How long before people forget Katrina and stop worrying before they have to?

So anyway she calls the wife, and offers to fly the wife and kids to Texas for a few days. I can't go because of work. So I'll probably be stuck sitting at home by myself all weekend, possibly with no electricity if it hits. It will also likely be flooded, downed trees, most public places closed, etc.

I'll probably follow [censored]'s lead and make a trip to the bookstore this afternoon. I'm looking for some good fiction. Not pop stuff and no sci-fi, more serious stuff. Recommendations welcome.

What would you do stuck at home, in the house for a weekend by yourself with no electricity?

edit: This has become a "suggestions for Jake" thread. I was really hoping for more discussion of what you would do personally.
