It wasn't bad at all. Some 11-12h x 8 = about 100 hours. However, after about 5 min, you can increase the speed as the brain switches to higher gear, thus 50 hours or about two weeks during holiday season.

Do you have pdf version?

I have a copy of the one volume. I just went to archive.org and downloaded the 3 book set.

Just a perfect story for Easter. Maybe there was no real Christ, but the story is still real. Story about virtuous man willing to sacrifice for the truth and salvation - only to be ridiculed and crucified by those same people he wanted to save.

As I'm a biologist, every time Solzhenitsyn was mentioning Vavilov, my focus would would be high to the point of saturation, because I knew the story. I knew what was done to him.
