I'm on a book (reading) tour of late, like they're going out of fashion. It seems a shame with the weather being so sunny and bright but I'm only now getting to Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago. Its a page turner alright but its as you would imagine very hard to read. Fights against the Nazis for his beloved Russia, gets thrown into a Gulag for no apparent reason by his not so loving Russia. If you need any further proof that Communism is and was one of the most vile ideologies ever, read no further than this book dear reader.
That book coming right off the back of John F Lucy's, The devil in the drum. An Irishman setting off to join the British army in 1912 and not knowing what was coming down the road to him and his younger brother. One of the best books I've ever read not just history books I've ever read. Why these books aren't compulsory readings in our schools, I just don't know.
