Yes, even people with virtually no education have usually heard of Churchill and/or Kipling. *NM*

Okay, I've read a few of these people. (EDITED to specify what works)

Of all the Russian authors to receive the prize, Solzhenitsyn is the worst stylistically

Don't put it on a list at amazon. Put it in the cart, then click on "purchase".

There's an ITV film of the book with Keira Knightley. It looks utterly appalling. *NM*
