Hi Brent,

I usually get my next reads suggested to me by meeting with folks FTF. On a cautionary note my ability to collect books far exceeds my capacity to read them. As I sit here typing this note in my home office my to do reading pile sits next to my desk. Here are the top 3 books in that pile; Wikinomics, The 8th Habit and Outliers.

I also tend to read several books at the same time; The Road Less Traveled by M. Scott Peck (bedside), Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill (Family Room) and Mistakes where made but not by me and Founders at Work (at the office).

My favorite books are:
Winning Friends and Influencing people
Good to Great
The Power of Kindness
The 7 habits of Highly effective people
The 7 laws of spritual success.

Much also depends on why you want to read. If you are looking for a break some light fiction is great like LotR (my personal favorite fiction book have read it 3X) or the Hobbit. I tend to like to read to learn now.

Best of luck with you next reading choice.

Ian

I think a good start would be CBC’s Canada Reads list.
http://www.cbc.ca/canadareads/
I read The Outlander. Very compelling plot, but I didn’t care for the characters. I didn’t think character development was very good.
My parents say The Book of Negros is very good.
Sarah (Jamie’s mom) LOVED “The Fat Woman Next Door is Pregnant” and will lend it to us.
Based on the CBC discussions, I don’t feel compelled to read “Fruit” or “Mercy…”.

@SolinFFRulez Ok, so I looked into the Fbconnector plugin for wordpress. It feels really hacky. I think I'll let it mature a bit before adding it to the site.

Hi,

I added a little section to your code (it’s brilliant by the way – thanks a lot!), which adds a line to the WP print style sheet hiding the icons in the printed article. I’ll email you the code if you like. (I couldn’t find your email address on your site anywhere.)

It Makes sence because Obi Wan and Yoda both look the way they died as jedi. So it only makes sence that Anakins ghost is young because that was when the jedi part of him died.
