34 in 34

Reading has not always been easy for me.  Not sure if it was difficulty in focusing, or trouble with reading (I’ve been told I have ADD/Dyslexia), but I tend to get bored with books after a few chapters.  However, I’m now a grown man and as a follower of Christ, a pastor, a business owner, and having the desire to be somewhat interesting, I am committed to reading more.

On June 27th I’ll turn 34 years-old and I have resolved to read 34 books in my 34th year.  I guess it will technically be my 35th year?  Anyways, suffice it to say that I may finish 12 books a year at this time.  So, this means that I will have to adjust my time, my priorities, and my nightly activities to make room in my life for more reading.

This past Sunday (June 3rd) I Tweeted/Facebooked asking for reading suggestions.  To my surprise, many people had suggestions for me to read, so I took the bulk of their suggestions and added them to my Amazon Wish List.  The main reason I did this was due to a suggestion I received from a good friend and my business partner, Brad, who is an avid reader and blogs at LucidBooks.net.  What he suggested was to put all of the books that I wanted to read in my Wish List so that those who wanted to bless me with a gift could, but more importantly, when I had the money to buy books, I didn’t have to spend time trying to remember what I wanted.  Genius!  Thanks, Brad!

So, I’m committed for this next year to do my best to read 34 books.  I’ll try to write reviews for as many of them as I can, but no promises there.

Any “MUST READS” for my 34th year?  Leave a comment and let me know!
