I'll read the same sentence three or four times sometimes - I just need to digest what I read. I need to think about the points made. Figure out the implications, the whys, the hows, the wheres of all the points made. I don't understand how others can read so fast. I guess I'm just slow. I'm okay with that, as long as I get the information I need.
Please enjoy. I recommend the primer first. Then the Wiki on the Insurrectionary Revolutionary Army of Ukraine to get a better idea about the anarchists and Bolsheviks dynamic during the Revolution. Then to get a good history of anarchism, Daniel Guerin's "Anarchism: From Theory to Practice" is as good as it gets.
The above is just recommended; feel free to read in any order you like.
