I, Woz: Computer Geek to Cult Icon: Getting to the Core of Apple's Inventor This book is essentially an autobiography from Steve Wozniak. I received this book as a gift from a friend in college about a year ago and I'm just getting to reading it now. It was a pretty quick read. I think it took me about 3 days to finish it. On the whole, I found the book pretty entertaining and interesting probably because I'm a bit of a computer geek. I feel some of the stories went into a little too much detail such as when he would talk about some of his pranks and his childhood. I understand that he was into electronics and math as a kid but it seems like he went on too long. It's not a huge deal but it is something that I noticed. So this book could have easily been 20 pages shorter.
I feel this book was written for someone that really isn't into computers as much as for someone that is into computers. In some of the sections, he explains why some of these advancements in technology were critical in the personal computing revolution.
The sections that I found the most interesting were when he talked about when he created the Apple I and the final section that was written to encourage the entrepreneurial and the inventor's spirit. In this final section, he also talked about why he decided to write a book—to set the record straight about his involvement and his leaving (in a matter of speaking) Apple Computer.

I am also reading Good To Great by Jim Collins. But that's been on back burner for some time. I'm taking everything written in the book with a grain of salt because one of my mentors told me "Good to Great is for wankers".
