I'm working my way through Anne Applebaum's Gulag: A History. It's a good book for sure, but I think I've grown a bit numb to the constant horrors within. Even as long as this book is, I feel the subject is so vast that there's a lot left unsaid. The more I read about USSR, the more questions arise. I have to read something lighter next.
