Babbitt is a satirical novel about American culture and society that critiques the vacuity of middle class life and the social pressure toward conformity. The controversy provoked by Babbitt was influential in the decision to award the Nobel Prize in Literature to Lewis in 1930.
...offers a nice view into middle class American life in the early 20th century. Although written over 90 years ago it's still surprisingly relevant today.
