I bet just about every veterinarian has ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL. My friend who runs Brentwood Animal Hospital in Tennessee has a very nice print edition.
Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s CANCER WARD is a wonderful novel and the translation by Nicholas Bethell and David Burg is brilliant (the translators took some license and according to some improved an already great novel). It is more about life than it is about the cancer hospital.
I will add that to my reading list. I read “One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich” in high school and found it riveting and chilling. I have revisited it a couple of times since then.
