So this is Dave’s awesome-booklist-of-love:
1) 1776 – This is a book by David McCollough about the founding year of the United States, focusing on George Washington, the amateur army, and other struggles for independence year. It's a national best-seller. (Democracy and the Social Contract)
2) The Jungle – This book by Upton Sinclair is an exposé on the deplorable sanitary conditions of meatpacking plants of America in the early 20th century. A classic! (From what I hear) (The Industrial Revolution)
3) Oliver Twist – This is a novel by Charles Dickens about a young orphan in industrial England. Another classic. (The Industrial Revolution).
Stay tune for our group's final choice…
