I'm not much of a real reader in the traditional sense. I'm in a way a victim of the internet age . I say a victim because I feel I somehow suffer of short attention span. It's just so easy and tempting to jump from an article to another newspaper clip and for the past 20 years I'm finding it rather difficult reading in its entire volume a real printed book. I wish to read on the post civil war era in Spain. Which?

Turn your phone on silent and leave it in your backpack while you read. Make regular meditation and mindfulness a habit so that you can take ten minutes to clear your mind of static when necessary.

Also, I find that my e-reader is a more comfortable and ergonomically pleasing way to read (especially for heavier volumes) that ultimately reduces distractions while I read and lets me read longer, more often, and in more places.(less)

Hi everyone. I found out that there were 2 versions of the book, one with 12 chapters and the other one 14 chapters. Is there any significant difference between the two?

Any other recommendations of books similar to an honest reportage on WW1, WW2 etc.?
Stefan Tons? I would start with Remarque's "Im Westen nichts Neues" (All Quiet on the Western Front) for WW1, and just by the virtue of growing up in Poland 鈥辞谤别Tons? I would start with Remarque's "Im Westen nichts Neues" (All Quiet on the Western Front) for WW1, and just by the virtue of growing up in Poland I'd recommend Chlebowski's "Poka偶 z臋by" to cover the first weeks of WW2, no translation as far as I'm aware, but who knows languages you speak. If that's a miss, you can try G眉nter Grass's "Die Blechtrommel" (The Tin Drum). I deliberately suggest novels (heavily influenced by authors experiences) as I'm yet to find well balanced book on WW2. Zuckerman's "A Surplus of Memory" isn't too bad, but it's more of memoirs than documentary account. Finally, I think that Heller's "Catch-22" isn't too far removed from reality as well. Let me know when you find other readworthy books.(less)
