100. Nasruddin’s Clothesline
A neighbor asked to borrow Nasruddin’s clothesline.
“I’m afraid that’s not possible,” said Nasruddin. He tried to sound apologetic, but he really didn’t want to loan anything to anyone. “I’m using the clothesline right now.”
“But I didn’t see any clothes drying outside. What are you using it for?”
“I’m using it to dry flour,” Nasruddin explained. “I spilled some water and the flour got wet. The flour is still drying.”
“You can’t use a clothesline for drying flour!” exclaimed the neighbor. “That’s impossible!”
“It’s completely possible,” Nasruddin replied calmly, “when your purpose is to avoid loaning out your clothesline.”

This is a novel that reads like historical fiction. It is the first in a trilogy which I'll continue to read. This is not a book that anti-gun supporters will like so they should avoid it, gun rights supporters will enjoy it.

99. Nasruddin Thinks of Soup
Nasruddin was hungry, but he had nothing to eat in the house. He sat in the kitchen, dreaming of soup. A nice noodle soup with beans and lentils, some onion and spinach, seasoned with some turmeric, yogurt on the side…
Then, as Nasruddin was thinking about that soup, he heard a knock at the door. It was his neighbor’s young son.
“Please, Nasruddin,” said the boy, “if you have cooked a pot of soup here, may we please have some?”
The boy then held out an empty bowl.
“Incredible!” Nasruddin exclaimed. “The neighbors can smell even the thought of soup.”

This book is not recommended for those of you that are overly sensitive. As one reviewer said "If you suffer insomnia or still believe in monsters hide under your beds this book is not great fit for you".

98. Nasruddin Goes Upstairs
Nasruddin had invited his friends to dinner. “They’re coming right behind me,” he said to his wife when he got home.
“But there’s no food in the house!” she exclaimed.
“What will we do?” groaned Nasruddin.
“Go upstairs! I’ll do the rest.”
A moment later, Nasruddin’s friends knocked at the door. “Your husband invited us for dinner!” they said.
“Alas, my husband has gone out,” his wife told them. “I don’t know when he’ll be back.”
“But we saw him come in!”
“I could have gone out the back!” Nasruddin shouted from upstairs. “You didn’t think of that, did you?”

There is only a very small part of the book that has anything to say about an economic collapse. The vast majority of the book is the usual 'prepper' stuff but you would need to be in the 1% or upper middle income bracket to afford following his recommendations. Not a recommended book.
