A Book List

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…
