"Founders at Work" by Jessica Livingston is fantastic. She interviews the founders of companies such as PayPal, Yahoo!, TripAdvisor, Fog Creek Software and many others. The book focuses on the very beginnings of these companies and shows with how little they started and what challenges they faced. Highly recommended.
