One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

This is a wonderful book. It begins and ends as one day in the life of an inmate in a Russian labor camp, something the author, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, lived through. The one day fills up more than a hundred pages, a true stream-of-consciousness book. Throughout, the hero, Ivan Denisovich, known to some unknown purpose as Sukhov, lays bricks and tramps about it the snow, but it is extremely interesting all the way through. If you don't like stream-of-consciousness, I wouldn't advise it, as it has no plot, though I loved it. My only problem was that there were several bad words throughout the book.
