The Pit -- kinda feel like Norris is the Len Deighton of muckraker fiction, but I like Deighton and have a definite soft spot for where economics, sociology, and history meet fiction

I've only read call of the wild. Want to read the Erskine Childers even just as a curio for someone involved in amateur RA studies

Lots of unfamiliar books by familiar authors.
Read call of the wild a few years ago and it prompted me to read more Jack London like The Iron Heel which predicts WWII. Quite depressing in its depictions of class war.
