Books That Changed America
by Robert B. DownsFrom the book: THOUGH YOU MAY NOT KNOW IT, BOOKS THAT YOU MAY NEVER HAVE READ ARE PROFOUNDLY AFFECTING YOUR LIFE AND LIFE AROUND YOU IN AMERICA TODAY. The call for revolutionary action by Thomas Paine ... the argument for civil disobedience by Thoreau . . . the dissection of governmental corruption by Lincoln Steffens . . . the analysis of American racism by Gunnar Myrdal . . . the chilling warning against ecological disaster by Rachel Carson . . . these are but a few of the books that have left a lasting impression upon America. From the moment of their publication, their influence began to be felt-an influence that has never ceased to operate in American society. Taking a brilliant cross-section of works in virtually every area of thought-political, economic, scientific, judicial, sociological, and literary-Dr. Robert B. Downs, former President of the American Library Association and head of the University of Illinois Library, gives a superb explication of each of these fascinating works and charts their effects upon the complex fabric of our emerging and evolving nation.

So, the gulf that yawned between them was deeper than he'd truly realized. To her, it was Lord Vorkosigan who wasn't real. His fingers entwined around the back of her neck, and he breathed her breath as she asked, "Why do you let Barrayar screw you over?" "It's the hand I was dealt." "By whom? I don't get it." "It's all right. It just happens to be very important to me to win with the hand I was dealt. So be it." "Your funeral." Her lips were muffled on his mouth. "Mmm." She drew back a moment. "Can I still jump your bones? Carefully of course. You'll not go away mad, for turning you down? Turning Barrayar down, that is. Not you, never you ..." I'm getting used to it. Almost numb.... "Am I to sulk?" he inquired lightly. "Because I can't have it all, take none. and go off in a huff? I'd hope you'd bounce me down the corridor on my pointed head if I were so dense." She laughed. It was all right, if he could still make her laugh. If Naismith was all she wanted, she could surely have him.
