Im done with CBT Nuggets INCD1 portion. Whats next?

I just finished watching the ICND1 portion of the series. My plan is to read a book and practice on GNS3 while im reading.
From what I understand Todd's book is more fun to read and easy to understand but I might miss some information. Wendell's book is more technical. Since I retained much information from the CBT nuggets videos, should I go over the Wendell book to make sure I get everything covered?

I've been reading Odom's book. It's very in depth. I didn't get the subnetting part of the book, but Jeremy Ciora's method cleared things up for me. Odom's book will give you more information than you need on many of the theory topics. Really it's a great book if you want a strong foundation, but it will take discipline, dedication, and time to get through it.

A couple of suggestions (free):

One more suggestion, this book is (last I checked) freely distributable. Nice lab workbook. MODERATED

Unfortunately the "Other Documents" linked on that page/site aren't -- including ones used to **** on the exam.

That workbook is the one mentioned in this thread: http://www.techexams.net/forums/ccna-ccent/42260-ccna-lab-workbook.html -- and that download link doesn't lead to a page with other questionable links.

But the workbook I linked is freely distributable, right? The lab workbook in question is CCNA Lab Manual version 7.0 by Furqan Yaseen. I have it in pdf format from a download link off of techexams. Couldn't find the post to link to it, though.

Edit: I see you found the link I was talking about. Thanks Mike!
