Thanks for the fun writeup. Come back and describe the rest of them later. :) I'm in the middle of reading High St@kes, No Prisoners (though it's been sitting idle for a couple months as I haven't had time for non-technical reading). Actually, I realized a quarter of the way through that I was re-reading it. I must have read it when it came out, because a lot of his stories and even particular phrases are coming back to me. It's certainly a good book for anyone interested in startups, and is refreshingly witty and candid. I noticed an interesting difference in my response to this book from the first time around, though. In the author's descriptions of his frequent battles with VCs, the VCs don't come off nearly as bad as he wants them to. For example, Andrew Marcuvitz, whom Ferguson depicts as basically a reptile, doesn't actually do anything bad. Mostly he just patiently explains things to a screaming Ferguson. Perhaps he turns evil in the second half of the book? I can't remember.
