Solzhenitsyn was an incredible man. His works are essential readings. I've only read the abridged version of the Gulag Archipelago but you really don't have to read the whole work to get a very good idea of what went on.
It wasn't bad at all. Some 11-12h x 8 = about 100 hours. However, after about 5 min, you can increase the speed as the brain switches to higher gear, thus 50 hours or about two weeks during holiday season.
Just a perfect story for Easter. Maybe there was no real Christ, but the story is still real. Story about virtuous man willing to sacrifice for the truth and salvation - only to be ridiculed and crucified by those same people he wanted to save.
As I'm a biologist, every time Solzhenitsyn was mentioning Vavilov, my focus would would be high to the point of saturation, because I knew the story. I knew what was done to him.
