A great loss to the literary world...

From msnbc.com: "Aleksander Solzhenitsyn, the Soviet dissident writer and Nobel literature prize winner, has died aged 89, the Interfax news agency reported on Sunday."

Rest of the article here:

I've only read The Gulag Archipelago, and that was a long time ago. I need to read it again!

Amazing that he lived to be 89, considering what he went through in his lifetime.
