Some of the books that have most influenced my thinking are listed below. I also wish to recommend 'fiction' for its insights into 'reality': for instance, Thomas Hardy's Far from the Madding Crowd

3. Aldous Huxley's Island;
4. Sinclair Lewis's Main Street;
5. Upton Sinclair's King Coal
6. and Upton Sinclair The Jungle;
7. John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath;
