How about

Alexander Solzhenitsyn's "One Day In The Life of Ivan Denisovich" ?

"Alexander Solzhenitsyn's "One Day In The Life of Ivan Denisovich" follows a prisoner through 24 hours of his lengthy incarceration. When first published in 1962, it brought to the world's attention the horrors of life for political dissidents in the Russian labour camps."

As far as I can remember, it's a short read, probably the length of Mice and Men. There isn't an happy ending as such, as its written as a snap shot of one day.

i just cant get into fiction books

Its a very good read its written in his local dialict there are refferences to historic events in certain countries he gives an excellent review of his family history , on the down side I did find it a tad racist towards Mongoose ( got a terrible review from them) but on the whole is a flipping good read ....

God whats up with somepeople......*** FLOUNCES ***
