Spent the first half of pic related looking up background info, since it covers a brief period of time in detail. It's great though, the author is clearly excited by the subject and it carries into his writing.

Does anyone have books on improving time management or organizational skills?

Well, in order:

The Sense of an Ending - Frank Kermode
The Temptation to Exist - Emil Cioran
Black Light: Theory and Praxis in the writings of Giorgio Manganelli - Mattia Cavadini
The Image-Movement - Gilles Deleuze

Pretty good stuff, I'll tell you. Cioran and Deleuze in particular

got this for free, gonna give it a chance soon.

Can anyone suggest some books about the Polish Underground, or other modern resistance movements? I'm looking for something mostly about the fieldcraft, methods, and tactics of resistance movements and guerrilla organizations. Much of what I've been able to find is heavily romanticized with the emphasis on human interest stories. I want to know more about how it was done, not who did it.

I started reading this, though not in order. I just have resd his essay on The Merchant of Venice, and it was one of the best Shakesperean criticisms I've read. The connection Goddard makes between the plot of the three caskets and the characterization of Portia, Shylock, Bassanio, and Antonio is mindblowing.

Both volumes are in Libgen, too.

Currently reading Meditations and An Oxford History to Islam.
Where do I go next from here in terms of Stoicism and studying of the Quran/religion?

I've just started Euclides da Cunha's Rebellion In The Backlands.
