I'm not sure that you'd like what you'd find, matey. Perhaps you'd find that all your own cultural indoctrination would be on much more shaky ground than you thought...
In America, you can always find a party.
In Soviet Union, Party always find you! |

Ivan Denisovich - you may have gathered that reading books is now a minority purtsuit, among posters here as much as in the "real world" |

Let's run a poll to see how many posters have read the book in question!
And we can cross-index the results with our secret police database, mu haw haw haw! |

I read it before I became a Komsomol. Of course now my favourite book is "How The Steel Was Tempered". |

Yes. Soothing tones of forward-thinking literature are like a balm on the troubled, restless soul seeking materialist fulfillment. Brings tears to one's eyes...
Hic! |

One day in the life
Read it way back in the last century. Wasn`t it aobut a guy who was imprisoned in the Gulag and was overjoyed when he got served two bowls of soup instead of one by mistake? It`s been 40 years plus. |

It is about many things. The dignity of labour is chief amongst them. Didn't you notice that the first time you read it, forty-odd years ago? |

When you get to my age, have read hundreds if not thousands of books, you don�t remember the details of each. You�ve got a long way to go before you realize that truism. Your youth shows. |

If you don't remember the details, then it might be an idea to reacquaint yourself with the novel before you comment. Unless your only purpose, as stated, was to comment on me personally. 'Tis against the forum rules, by the way.
Incidentally, I read this book over twenty-five years ago and have read many thousand titles since then. My relative youth (or lack of) really has very little to do with the topic at hand, and certainly does not preclude memory of the main ideas of any title I have read. |
