One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich
by Aleksander Solzhenitsyn
Yup, read this one for school. Amazing description, great little jabs at Communism and Stalin and censorship, and I will be using it for my students. But the main impression of the whole thing was a single thought: Well, I may be annoyed by my job or the weather or what have you -- but at least I'm not in a Soviet work camp. I thought that a lot. It's a good thought.
I read a lot. I like writing reviews. These are all the books I read, with my thoughts about them. Many of these are posted on Amazon; if you like these, go there and vote for them, okay? I'm trying to climb the book reviewer ladder.
