BuzzFeed Style: 30 Books I Started Reading And REALLY Should Finish

I have what may be a terrible habit when it comes to reading books, in short I rarely get to the end of them. In some regards I guess edit the books into a new context by reading them to a point and then beginning another, usually related, book. I then might go back, read some more of the first and then read part of another book and hence my experience of them becomes altered by what I read between the start and, well, I’d say the end but since I have 30 unfinished books currently on the go, perhaps between the start and the next title I pick up. So currently on my list to complete:
