Lately I'm into reading Biographies of Entrepreneurs. Reserved "Founders at work" at the library, but currently reading "Match King" the biography of Ivar Kreuger. After failing a bunch of times, he figured it out: put on a show and pretend you're successful then other people buy in. Problem is he took that too far. Surprisingly, good to read as an entrepreneur, both inspirational AND _cautionary_.
