    "The Gulag Archipelago" by Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn

    Compelling read. Never read "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich" but that will be the next thing I read.

    I'm only about 80 pages or so into it. I'm starting to respect PT more and more. (Not that I didn't to begin with, I just didn't know much about him.)

    i love her books

    The only book I've finished by her was Oryx and crake and I really liked it. And Year of the Flood takes place in the same universe so I couldn't help but pick it up :)

    Shakespeare - The World as Stage written by Bill Bryson. Bryson is my favorite travel writer, and in this book he delves into what is known about Shakepeare's life. I probably wouldn't have bought it if Bryson didn't write it, but I find it quite interesting.
