Anyone got tips on improving reading speed and comprehension?

The best way to do it is read every day, and then explain to someone what you just read.

Even if you just start by reading 5 pages a day, you'll gain traction quickly.

If you find yourself losing focus, stop reading and go do something that causes you greater discomfort, like pushups or talking to you mother, and then return to your book ASAP and continue reading. Also, bring a hi-lighter to save your favourite lines and share them here after.

The man himself, the reason I'm reading all these things.

Is this book actually depressing? Planning on reading it in jail.

it isn't because Solzhenitsyn is not a nihilist POS like most modern authors

I have the first two volumes of this in my pile. Ive read one of his novels before and a few pages here and there.

Solzhenitsyn is very readable desu and not hard at all.

It's depressing if you can't stand witnessing the suffering of others, I tried listening to it on the way to and from work every day, shit sucked the energy out of me. The book is given very factually though, if that's any help.
