Don't say that! I bought it at a book sale because it was written by Solzhenitsyn and haven't read it yet.
But I guess it's no great waste even if the book isn't that good, seeing as I only paid fifty cents.

You must have read it in the Russian. The English translation is prolix but stays between the lines. It is amazingly densely packed for being so long.

The Gulag Archipelago------Certainly a reflection of the bizarre Kafkaesque world of the soviet system. Quite a few levels of hell to get through.
What brilliance on the part of Solzhenitsyn.
