The second thing I thought of when I read that question was an episode of “The Twilight Zone” when a man who loved to read was in the bank’s vault (I think it was) and when he came out, he was the only person left anywhere. He found the library but then broke his very thick glasses. It was awful. (I was a glasses-wearing little girl when I saw that episode, but I still remember it.)

I remember it well. One of the first episodes of the first season as I recall.
Not precisely on topic, but...there is a YouTube series called "Twilight Tober Zone" that plays selected old episodes of the series. Good stuff.
As far as the books I'd take...Bible, Koran, The Book of Mormon, and the Hindu Itihasa and Vedas. Lots of time to compare and contrast, assuming I wasn't spending 18 hours a day just struggling to survive.
