I have never thought I would actually enjoy a story about working at a gulag. Very funny, made me think about all the things that I take for granted right now and of me in the past, of the unjust sentences, the struggles of whole families while the main character is living his "normal", common day. Took me two days and it's the first book I might actually reread in the future. Try and see it for yourself but I think you will love it. (even though its extremely sad and makes you wanna cry)
