Pic related is super interesting.
I hate reading.
It's a taxing endevour.
But last summer I quit my job and needed something to do. So I bought a few books cause why not. I was browsing /k/ and realized I might be interested in military non-fiction.
Well I started reading books on guerrilla warfare and I was hooked.
I'm 27 years old. I have ADHD and Epilepsy. Always hated reading. Never been able to concentrate long enough. Only ever finished 3 books including the Bible which I read along with in church.
But now I've been reading nearly non stop and am on the last chapter of pic related.

So glad I found the motivation to read.

I got it for like 3,5$ on a book fair in another country. English isn't even my native language.

Right now, nothing. But going to work through some poetry to improve my writing.

Picked this one up, probably wont read it anytime soon, may interest you OP. Hopefully going to pick up the Cambridge World History set next month maybe.

Studying for the CISSP

I'm definitely going to read yours in my spare time though. I read an exerpt from British Battles on Land and Sea by Jason Grant a while ago and it opened my eyes as to how ruthless the English were to us Scots and how similar it is to how the English treated the natives here in Canada.

Better than what I expected from a journalist penning some pop-history. I enjoy the somber tone, the structure and the details on inter and intra party squabbling in the immediate aftermath of the war.
