I may have commented similar on another video but I don't remember. I need to read Gulag Archipelago. I'm reading his In the First Circle and that man has BALLS. I just finished reading a section that was from the perspective of Stalin as a paranoid and egotistical maniac losing his mind and it was kinda hilarious. Knowing the circumstances under which it was written and how well he knew the penalties for the act is insane. " The man from whom you've taken everything is no longer in your power; he is free again".
That is such a powerful line! I'm about half way through my reread of Gulag and I actually suspect his other works might be better reads. I can't decide whether I want to dig more into his work or take a breather.

I am whatever Saturn says I am. If I wasn't then why would Saturn say I am?
