Book book! Readit readit!

Well! Don't Buy Any Books Month was a bit of a flop.

Out of the four books I managed to read in January, YOU MUST READ Alexander Solzhenitsyn's One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, an account of life in a Soviet labour camp. It's very short, very readable, and there's very little actual brutality or violence - and yet it's a nightmare. The last lines nearly did away with me.

I read that book when I was 13. It gave me a lot to think about. Nightmares.
