Just finished that one myself. (I actually read the first two out of order). I think there is also a new one just now out?

I am 100 pages into Atlas, and it is actually better than I would have thought so far.

Is there? I had no idea. I have to check that out though--I love Oddie.

Odd Hours is the next one (Google!). Includes the spirit of the Chairman of the Board himself, Frank Sinatra.

"Life of Pi" by Yann Martel

And currently rereading "The Richest Man In Babylon" by George Clason ... this one's always a treat.

A few friends and I have been online book clubbing. We live across the country from each other, so we decided to book club by e-mail and are also choosing books to read that are available on Project Gutenberg. We decided to start with a young adult book, just because we didn't want to go for something too deep and then realize our method of e-mail discussing wasn't going to work. So we're currently reading Anne of Green Gables.

How are you discussing the books? Is there a forum on Project Gutenburg?

I read "Life of Pi" 4 or 5 years ago. Very enjoyable.

I'm currently reading, "The Naked Investor: Why everybody but you gets rich off your RRSPs" (canadian book). So far, it's EXTREMELY good. An eye opener for sure.
