- The First $20 Million Is Always The Hardest
- Show-Stopper!
- startup
- Burn Rate
- microserfs
- Slack
- The Tipping Point
- High Stakes, No Prisoners

Soul of a new machine (Score:1)
I've read about 10 of them but he doesn't seem to include Soul of a New Machine [amazon.co.uk] which is one of the best books I've ever read. I bought the original about 15 years ago from a second hand shop and must have read it a dozen times since then.
However, now I shall have to go out and read all the ones he does suggest. At least my Christmas present wishlist is easy :-)

Cuckoo's Egg isn't on that list and should be.

This is my very first-draft list. By the time we get started a lot of these books will be replaced with better books, I hope; if you have any suggestions please feel free to email them to me. I haven't attempted to sort them or rank them yet; the order is completely arbitrary.
