True West : Myth and Mending on the Far Side of America
by Betsy Gaines Quammen
True West explores myths of the West and how, if left unexamined, these myths distort the realities of the present and exacerbate polarizations. These misperceptions about land, politics, liberty, and self-determination threaten the wellbeing of western communities overrun by newcomers seeking a dream - unless America recognizes the dangers of building a national identity based on illusion. Betsy Gaines Quammen interprets it all by carefully listening to people from varying political and cultural perspectives as she seeks to reconcile the deep anger and broad misunderstandings that linger amid myths that define and impede the West and America.

As I Lay Dying : Library Edition
by William Faulkner
At the heart of this 1930 novel is the Bundren family's bizarre journey to Jefferson, Missouri, to bury Addie, their wife and mother. Faulkner lets each family member--including Addie--and others along the way tell their private responses to Addie's life. As I Lay Dying is the harrowing, darkly comic tale of the Bundren family's journey.
