"The Jungle" was mainly true. It basically documented the meat processing practices of the time, which were highly unsanitary. I think more people should read "The Jungle" to see just how bad things can get when business is allowed to do whatever it wants. We can go too far in the opposite, non-regulatory direction as well. Some regulation is necessary to protect the public from simply being poisoned.
I haven't checked out the full list of books but I would add Dr. Spock's baby books if they're not already on the list. He helped to ruin an entire generation. I would also add the "therapeutic" book "I'm Okay, You're Okay" which started a whole trend in non-judgemental therapy.
