"The Gulag Archipelago being on the best seller list for months, and I doubt that many of those who bought it read it all the way through."

Yep. Finished it. I remember being stunned at the depth of the evil of the Soviet government. Life in those gulags was so dismal that I am sure the Soviets sent those people there to die. Then they could claim that the regime was compassionate. I also read several others of Solshenyzin's: "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovitch" sticks out, for some reason. "The Cancer Ward" was also very good.

Kudos to another reader of Solzhenitsyn's classics: The Gulag Archipelago, One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, The Cancer Ward. I read them all -- in college.

I'm looking forward to my retirement days when I'll have time to begin reading good literature again.
