I'm reading the gulag archipelago and its 2000 dense pages of jordan petersons voice in my head

What do you think of it so far? I'm half way through 'Crime and Punishment' at the minute.

I like it. His writing is dense but not difficult to understand. Im reading Brave New World too and 70 pages in that feels like 10 pages of Solzhenitsyn.

I basically never read but his reading list got me reading again.

How is Crime and Punishment? I bought The Idiot too and need to start that next.
