Yes, turn off the doomer porn and go snowshoeing, or if you are not stuck in WI, ride your bike. Stave off those expensive health issues that result from a sedentary consumer lifestyle!
Hey, you know what TOD needs? "TOD Library", a comprehensive list of books/dvd's etc that are recommended by the experts that contribute to this site. Catorize them, (fiction, gardening, PO,Oil and Gas industry stuff, localization, etc etc) maybe have short reviews.....
My favorite movie this year (OK, it was done in 07 but I only saw it this year) was King Corn. PBS has a nice writeup and link to a trailer.
There are several places I can point you to. The first is my post below on book kits that is a start. It doesn't have book reviews yet (but will soon).
Also, Dr. Mills is setting up a preparation page here:
http://drmills.wiki-site.com/index.php/Peak_Oil_Preparation
He's creating something like what I did with The Guide to Post Peak Living.
From my conversation with him, I think he'll have book recommendations, too, if he doesn't already by now.
And if you haven't read his page on Evolutionary Psychology and Peak Oil, I strongly recommend it:
http://www.drmillslmu.com/peakoil.htm
I think Matt has done some good work picking books, too (look down the left side):
http://www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net
And his forums are always edifying.
