Saw a video from one of these idiot internet personalities so thought might as well finish it once and for all. It’s been collecting dust in my bookshelf for nearly a decade, what better time to finish than now. Hoping to finish it by tomorrow since I have nothing to do today.

Halfway there it’s so great. Heard great reviews going into the book and couldn’t wait to get my hands on a copy and it completely blew the ratings out the water, phenomenal book. Interested to see the first hand reactions when Igor abandons Slavyansk for Donetsk. Although the book is based on Slavyansk I hope we see the humanitarian corridor massacre of Ilovaisk in Aug 2014.

Found my English translation siuuuuu

Reading a million books at the same time is a headache but this one caught my eye. Thought it would be the locals of Novorossiya forced to pick up arms against the govt post Maidan, but he’s a Russian from Africa?... I’m thinking he’s a merc but good read so far can’t wait to finish.

I lost my copy of the only translation.... 85 days in Slavyansk I will return for you one day.

My adhd is killing me with jumping from book to book but I’m enjoying this one and think I’ll stick with it long term. Slavyansk was a major turning point in the war right before the battle for the Donetsk airport that solidified DPR’s Legitimacy. This book gives a god first hand account into the build up and what followed.

So far really touching. Ibn Qayyim is going in depth about the phenomenon of how when one gets closer to Allah their life seems to get worse but when they succumb to their whims and desires they enjoy life. Common thing that happens to many of us but it’s nothing more than a mere trial from Allah and there’s glad tidings to the believer who’s patient.
