Title: 'One Red Paperclip'

Author: Kyle McDonald

Why: This guy basically played a game with strangers on the internet over time... . A game called Bigger and Better.

It's a trading game where you find someone willing to trade what you have with something bigger and better that they have. Then you take what they gave you and you repeat (find someone new to trade with for something bigger and better).

Kyle started with one red paperclip and basically went on a national tour, trading up one by one, until he ended up with a house.

This fun book that doesn't take itself too seriously reminded me to just do stuff.

You can find the list of trades here on the Wikipedia page:
