The Gulag Archipelago is the most depressing book ever...
I got the abridged version and I am about 150 pages in but haven't continued in about three weeks.Its as if you're seeing evil itself reign over the Earth or in this case Russia.
What an absolutely terrible time to be alive,in fact probably the worst in all history.
Despising the communist regime so much you even join the nazis to fight your comrades.Even those who didn't join were sent to the Gulag anyway.Stalin's was an utterly ruthless bastard.
It's so strange we were never taught it in schools, about the Soviet union.It would be very educational to see he dangers of the right AND left.And how they both basically amount to the same thing.Total oppression of the people by government and justifying it through ideology.
Any other books you find it hard to finish currently or could never finish reading?
And yes,I started reading it after looking through Jordan Petersons reading list lol
