if you can find a copy,(second hand book shops etc) get, One Day in The Life Of Ivan Denisovich.
also,
check out, Anne Applebaum - Gulag A History, published by Penguin, its along the same lines as G A but shes not as dry as Solzhenitsyn

edit:
Chasm City is a damn good read Grudge

read One Day in The Life Of Ivan Denisovich a few years ago. it's a very interesting book. pretty short too.

Ayn Rand - Atlas Shrugged

read them both almost to the end. Now they're lying there next to my bed and I can't continue because I can't decide which one I want to finish first.

They're both really good books, though.

When I have some spare time, I'll read Gai-Jin by James Clavell. And Noble House after that.

read the fountainhead, and was planning to read atlas shrugged after. fountainhead is definitely an interesting book, i don't know that i agree with her philosophy but it's has interesting concepts aside from being terribly written.

My dad used to teach the Ayn Rand philosophy back in the 60's.... He gave me Atlas Shrugged and said it was his favorite book, but I cant commit to opening it because it's so FReaKiN' HuGe!!! I love to read but that's such a commintment....

I think a lot of people do, but I didn't. I can't remember when I read it, but it was back around that time.
