<p>Solzhenitsyn died yesterday. </p>
<p>He was one of the first great authors I read in a serious way. It felt important and it was. I was 16 when I read A Day in the Life Last year, 48 years old, I read the first book of The Red WHEEL; August 1914, and remembered again what it was like to read the words of a Giant amongst men. </p>
<p>His writing and his life were always an inspiration to me. </p>
<p>His life changed the World.
Nice to remember him.</p>
<p>He believed the next world was a better place.
I hope he finds it to be as he believed it to be.</p>
