I've read maybe half. It gets quite repetitive. I'm reading The First Circle, which is about many of the same themes but in a novel and is actually readable.

It made me want to clean my room

It was a slog desu, and I was reading the 1974 abridged version.

Anyone read volumes 1, 2 and 3?

Currently reading the hardback edition which have notations that paperback doesn't have, the notations add a lot to it. It's not easy to get through but I've been going at it slow and steady to really digest it, seems to be helping.

What does the cover look like?

OP here, I'm more or less worried that the translation will have been done by some kike and i wont get the true message Alexander Solzhenitsyn was trying to get through. I just want the real, authentic version that's in English.

blank as fuck, if it had a sleeve it's long gone now, I just got it from Amazon for like $20 and it's from an old bookstore. Still good quality though

It is a great read and has a Vonnegut style dark humor to it.

I'm reading the free version off archive.org has notations and works fine with my tablet. Not exactly an easy read...it's not difficult to understand, but I find the author to be rather long winded and occasionally repetitive. Is worth it though I've found it very enlightening so far.

Picture unrelated just some fish I caught.

Found a PDF of the three volumes online.

I have both, I find Gulag Archipelago is harder to read because you get a better picture of the sheer magnitude of casual bureaucratic evil that happened during those years. I was honestly only able read it in short chunks before I started literally shaking but it's a book that needs to be read if you truly wish to recognize and fight evil.

I read vol 1 and half of vol 2. Very eye opening re what people are capable of. Recommended.
