 | One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich (Penguin Modern Classics) by Alexander Solzhenitsyn

 | Death and the Penguin (Panther) by Andrey Kurkov

Buy new: £7.39 / Used from: £5.49 |
 | Cancer Ward by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Buy new: £6.73 / Used from: £3.98 The third Solzhenitsyn on my list, however none the less powerful or gripping than the others. It is a semi-autobiographical novel, and without doubt one of the great allegorical masterpieces ever.

 | War and Peace (Pocket Penguin Classics) by Leo Tolstoy
Buy new: £5.86 / Used from: £2.75 Undoubted classic, and no list of this nature would be complete without it. Have to admit that one reading was enough for me!
