Read all his books :)

  I have; even the painfully dated "Next: The Future Just Happened"; Lewis is even worth reading when he's writing about Marillion, the UK's answer to Kenny Loggins. If you're an entrepreneur and you haven't read Moneyball, [insert snark here]. I was disappointed by The Blind Side, his football book, but it was at least well-written and enjoyable. I even have a huge bound volume of classic econ texts with his commentary in it. I will probably never really finish it, but I'm a huge fan and a completeist, so, he got me.

    Really? I liked The Blind Side. Wasn't a fan of Coach.

      I liked The Blind Side, but found it more entertaining than insightful, and I think he papers over the most interesting conflict in the story --- whether Michael Oher's benefactors were in fact gaming the college football recruitment system.

    "The New New Thing" is among his best, and the most directly relevant for the HN crowd -- a really insightful look at Silicon Valley history in the mid 90s and the story behind SGI, Netscape, and Jim Clark.
