One Red Paperclip by Kyle MacDonald, 307 pages
I had been waiting years to read this book, but it took a long time to find through the library system. I thought this was a great human interest story that just can't help but make you feel good. Imagine starting with one red paperclip with the goal being to trade that for a house. Canadian Kyle MacDonald proved you could do it starting in July 2005. He had a dream, and he fulfilled it through fourteen trades through Craigslist and his website. This book details his trades and his journey to become a homeowner. I highly recommend this book if you are a dreamer. The pictures of his trades and the fact that he wore the same shirt in each of his trades was worth the read!
