30 Books

This afternoon I was plotting and working on my 30 things during my 30th year and I decided to tackle my book selection which is #5. To go along with #12 I decided to look at my own book collection and see which books I have never read and the books that I might have started and for some reason or another I just never finished, not that the book wasn't good, just did not have the time or got side track.  Listed below are the books that I have so far.

1. Black Planet Facing Race during an NBA Season by David Shields
2. Dreams from My Father by Barack Obama
3. Becoming a Vessel God Can Use by Donna Partow

As you can see that only leaves me 7 books to find and read. I am open for suggestions???? What is crazy is I still have tons a books on my shelf that I have not read, but right now I don't want to add them to the list because I really have no desire to read them.

Hopefully I really enjoy each of these books and I finish the ones I never finished before.
