Day 11

One of your favorite books

For this I'm going to go with "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair

Its remembered for being a key piece in promoting regulation on the meat industry (Upton Sinclair had went undercover to research for the book) However, the whole book was written as a political piece... the meat industy has little to do with the social/political changes he was pushing it was just the back drop...

Anyway its a good and sad tale of the troubles immigrants faced in the United States that will stick with you. The last two chapters aren't that great (where the author pushes his political solution, against the capitalism described in the book) but the rest of the book more than maks up for it.
