The article said, "She said, 'We used to read Solzhenitsyn's books at night, and it was our way of measuring things.'"
My question is 2-part.
1) can someone recommenda Solzhenitsyn book or story (not the largest or most famous) but that would be an eye-opener to Americans wanting to read the about the things Russians struggled with; and
2) what current author might be recommended for americans wanting to "measure things" in our culture.
By measuring things, I think she meant to observe the things we should value and be aware of, overall. I'm looking for practical wisdom here, I guess. Thanks
