Which are the best books about startups, startup life, stories of the Silicon Valley in the 80s, interviews of entrepreneurs and such?<p>I've read quite a few but would like some good recommendations. They needn't be all serious, could be fun too, but should be good reads. Most of us would find such books quite helpful, inspiring even.<p>Here are a few I can remember now. I'll add some more later.<p>Books<p>Founders at Work<p>Coders at Work<p>Hackers and Painters<p>iCon: Steve Jobs<p>The Google Story<p>The Difference Between God and Larry Ellison<p>The Masters of Doom<p>The First $20 Million Is Always the Hardest<p>Bringing Nothing To The Party<p>Kindly add to the list.<p>Thanks.
When I gathered up book recommendations from HN posters I made a category just for this topic. Most have already been listed here, but there are a few that haven't.<p><a href="http://hn-books.com/#BC=0&EC=0&FC=0&Q0=13&QC=1" rel="nofollow">http://hn-books.com/#BC=0&EC=0&FC=0&Q0=13&QC...</a><p>(I would have listed the books individually, but the whole purpose of making the site was to have one place to send people who are looking for book recommendations from fellow HNers)
I forgot the title, that book by the guy who sold one of the first html editors (famous for generating bad html) to Microsoft during the battle against Netscape. Very fun to read.
