Thank you all for the comments! #83 One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovitch by Alexander Solzhenitsyn. Translated from the Russian by H.T. Willets. This book is an account of one day (out of an 8-year term) in Ivan’s life, spent under the watchful eyes of his warders in a Stalinist work ...

I'm incarcerated in a Stalinist work camp in Siberia during a brutally cold day with Shukov and Alexander Solzhenitsyn, in One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich.

#16 I agree. Ivan Denisovich or Half of a Yellow Sun.

One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich and Cancer Ward, both by Alexander Solzhenitsyn, as well as The Reader by Bernhard Schlink. Comments to follow after I finish this first batch of titles nudged...

Depends what you feel like, I think - overall I'd nudge Ivan Denisovich (short, sparing and very, very thought-provoking), but if you're in the mood for a good story, Half of a Yellow Sun.

Ivan Denisovich is a terrific short book. The Skvorecky you have I would actually denudge because it is not by any stretch one of his best books. I know his writing well, and this book would discourage you from reading others. So, skip this one, and get someone to give you a copy of Cowards, ...

Cancer Ward and A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich are both good but the latter is shorter and probably best to tackle first if you've not read Solzhenitsyn before. The Reader by Bernard Schlink is an unusual book well worth a read about a young boy's affair with an older woman involved in N ...

I'd go for the Solzhenitsyn - I read both Cancer Ward and Ivan Denisovich in high school (they were in the "sealed section" of our high school library, which one could only access when in the 6th and 7th forms - my proudest moment was when I got special dispensation to go into that section as a ...

Ivan Denisovich for no reason other than it's a great book.

My top nudge would go to The Kite Runner, followed closely by One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, A Thousand Splendid Suns, Good Behavior (Keane is so wickedly catty), and The Magic Toyshop. Definite non-nudges go to The Quincunx - a miserable attempt at trying to copy the Victo ...

I think we've already talked about this one on my 75 thread, so it won't surprise you that I'm nudging One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. I also read the Alice Munro this year and thought it was excellent. My reaction to Watching the English was similar to wandering-star's, above - I ...

86> Killeymoon, you can knock back One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich in one long sitting. I just did, and I think that may be better than spreading his day over several of the reader's days. In any case, have fun. Robert

Had a Borders coupon, so bought One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. A friend of mine got a copy from her mother, and I was feeling the guilts for not having read it (despite promising myself I would for about 2 years).

The Holy Bible, The Gulag Archipelago, and One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich.

One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich is a good place to start - it's shorter (and less didactic) than many of the others.

I have read Gulag Archipelago, One Day in the Life and First Circle. As soon as I read of his death, I resolved to read some more of his work. I have Cancer Ward, August 1914, For the Good of the Cause and the non-fiction Invisible Allies about the dissident movement in the 1960s. I ...
