One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, in one night.

Read it in a single reading on Thursday-Friday. Perhaps, my first book completed in a single reading. Reminded me of the beginning of Gregory David Robert's Shantaram:

"I realised, somehow, through the screaming in my mind, that even in that shackled, bloddy helplessness, I was free: free to hate the men who were torturing me, or to forgive them...when it's all you've got, that freedom is a universe of possibility."
