I want to start reading books but it's really hard for me to focus and not derail my head into other thoughts.
And i am not native english speaker so audiobooks are not always there
Are there any exercises/books that will help me?

Yeah, reading.

Don't hang around electronic devices, read in public spaces, libraries
Read everyday, set realistic goals for progress

>Don't hang around electronic devices
This basically, just to add that personally I've only ever been able to read from paper or a tablet.
Reading on a computer or a smartphone is impossible. I know, I've tried.

This. Besides the distractions, the screens are just too bright. This poorfag that I worked with read the entire Sherlock Holmes on his NEXUS phone, though. Seriously.

I've read several books on smartphones. Concluding that something's impossible just because you can't do it is a teeny tiny bit arrogant.

If nothing works, there "pomodoro technique" that may help you. I do something similar.
Basically whenever I'm working on something I'll pause for a brief time and then get back to whatever I was doing.
It works for me when it looks like I'm saturated.

Yes. Stop making excuses. Go to a cafe/table with a notebook, force yourself to focus on the text for 20 minutes without stopping, then slowly increase the time.

Reading books on computers is easy as hell.
