Book: Art of Money Getting
Since starting a business, I’ve been wanting to read this work by P.T. Barnum.

Holy crap. I figured that since Apple and its products are pretty cool, surely the company’s founder would be just as cool… No. Steve Wozniak, in his autobiography iWoz, does nothing more than further the whole “Apple users are pricks” mindset that a good portion of the world already knows to be fact.
