What I am Reading

I'm a fan on non-fiction which I didn't realize was odd until I enrolled in my master's program.  I especially like biographies.  Every now and then I will pick up Charles Martin, Nicholas Sparks, or John Grisham.  But, my true love is non-fiction.
Right now, I am reading the biography on Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson.  I had seen an interview with Isaacson on Face the Nation.  I liked his southern background and accent.  I downloaded the book to my Kindle.


I had read prior to the book that Steve Jobs was Buddhist.  This bothered me and I wanted to see what he was all about. I am about 60% through the book. First of all, I think I would have worked for him for approximately 30 seconds.  He constantly berated his employees, held grudges, and took ideas from others.  I was especially bothered by how he treated his parents.  I keep reading to see if he has any redeeming qualities.  He did expect excellence from everyone.  There were A, B, and C employees.  Your only hope was to be an A employee.
I have enjoyed reading about the advent of the personal computer, the competition with Microsoft/Bill Gates, and the development of Pixar.  It is a miracle that Toy Story was ever brought to the big screen.
No doubt that our society has changed because of Apple.  There was a funny story about making the Ipod earbuds white versus any other color.  I love my Ipod and I have one of the orignal models.
Back to reading... or really, making dinner!
