The Jungle

I loved this book. Sinclair brings the pages to life with often gruesome descriptions of life in the U.S. as a working class family at the turn of the century. The last few chapters, where the main character joins the Socialist movement, are very exciting to read and offer a nice history on the origins of the Socialist movement in the U.S. It is interesting reading 100 years later and hearing many of the same arguments being had. I'd recommend this book to anyone who enjoys politics and/or US history.
