Sinclair Lewis wrote this satirical story about our current times in 1922. How prescient he was!
George Babbitt, a successful real-estate salesman in the fictional mid-western Zenith, can't figure out why he isn't happy. He tries money, alcohol, religion, women, all in rapid succession, but gradually comes to realize true happiness comes from within.
This book is entertaining, and I seriously had to keep flipping back to check the publication date, because, outside of a few 'high-balls' and way too many secretaries, this could have been written today. You watch a movie from the 1920s and you'll see Charlie Chaplin or Rudy Valentino hamming it up on the silent screen. Don't be fooled; they were exactly as we are today.
