------------Tech------------
"The Difference Between God and Larry Ellison" (Oracle, Ellison, the birth of the DB)
"The New New Thing" (about Jim Clark, netscape, SGI, what became webmd)
"In the plex" (Google)
"The Nudist on the Late Shift" (kind of like founders at work, a bit light but hey)
"Hackers" (by Stephen Levy, again, kind of light, but entertaining)
"The Hacker Crackdown" (by Bruce Sterling, entertaining)
------------General Business------------
"Losing My Virginity" (Richard Branson)
"King of Capital" (Steve Schwarzman, guy that started Blackrock)
"Art of the Deal" (Trump)
"The Age of Turbulence" (Alan Greenspan)
"Barbarians at the Gate" (RJR Nabisco takeover in 80s)
"Liar's Poker" (the mortgage bond)
"Den of Thieves" (Milken, Boesky, the junk bond)
"Conspiracy of Fools" (Enron)
------------Historical------------
"Carnegie" (by Peter Krass)
"Dark Genius of Wall Street" (Jay Gould + most of the robber barons)
"Titan: The life of John D. Rockefeller" (Rockefeller)
"The House of Morgan" (JP Morgan, etc.)
"Disraeli: A Brief Life" (Benjamin Disraeli)
"Hitler: Hubris", "Hitler: Nemesis", "The Hitler Myth" (all by Ian Kershaw, all really good, covers a lot of territory)
"Postwar: A History of Europe Since 1945" (not biography but REALLY good)
------------Cool Story------------
"Life" (Keith Richards, still in the middle of it but so far so good)
"Blow" (the book that turned into the movie, they left a lot out of the movie)
"Catch me if you can" (book that turned into the movie, again, they left a ton out of the movie, the book is autobiographical)
That's a pretty good list of some of the ones I've enjoyed over the years, hope someone finds some of them enjoyable.
