One of the book clubs I belong to (yes, I'm a dork and belong to two) read "One Red Paperclip" by Kyle MacDonald this month. It tells the story of a 20-something in Canada who traded his way up from a paper clip to a house in a year's time.
I missed the book club meeting, but I heard the reviews were mixed. I enjoyed the tale and the life lessons MacDonald incorporates along the way. Others thought it was just another guy-gets-lucky Internet story.
I went to check the Web site today, and apparently now he and his girlfriend are trying to trade their house for something else.
You can ask him about that yourself when he comes to speak at the Whitaker Center in Harrisburg on September 23. Here's the information.
