my bookshelves for the rest of 2010

i am very ADD. i think i've written about that before. and i'm especially ADD when it comes to reading.
i have to work very hard to stay focused on the task at hand or else i... it's really hot outside today... what was i talking about?

yesterday i did a little check up to see how i was doing on my 2010 goals HERE.

1 of those goals was to read 50 books (really 53 including "re-reads"). i've read about 23 of them, so i'm not too far off the pace. But i still have a lot to read.

my problem is that i love books. if i didn't have that reading list with the specific 50 books i want to read this year, i would read portions of about 300 books, but finish NONE.
i'll literally be reading a book, see another one on the shelf and go pick it up and start reading it. (it's a curse really. curiosity and ADD make a dangerous pair.)

i recently moved my office to another room in our house with empty bookcases and STRATEGICALLY did not move all my books over to these bookcases. i only moved the books that still remain on my 2010 reading list which you can read HERE. then i shut up the room with all the other thousands of books so my ADD won't be tempted.

Now in my office are only the books i want to read the last half of this year. i put 1 book on each shelf and will take it away when i read it. here's a pic:

so the books that i still have to read this year are:
