The GULAG Archipelago by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. It has only gotten more relevant with the resurgence of the ideology which led to the rise of GULAG. I have a digitised version of the cassette tape edition read by Frederick Davidson, it is long enough to take you across the world. It is also long enough to listen to it more than once since you won't catch everything on the first listen. I built a bathroom while listening to it leading to me associating certain parts - shower, floor, wall (I had to lift the house with hydraulic jacks to repair part of the timber wall which had rotted due to a leaking pipe) - with passages from the book. I'm currently listening to it again while mounting more solar panels on a barn roof.
