Wow, eight pages into Steve Jobs biography and I am totally fascinated. Looks like it might be one of those books where there's so much information, different concepts, and intriguing new perspectives to wrap my head around I'm going to have to pause every ten pages or so to let it sink in. So many issues already in these first eight pages that I can relate to. Fascination with new things, a regular home life, "abandoned, chosen, special" as was the theme in his early years, Silicon Valley - my home grounds, not a salesman but a gentle persistent father (reminds me of Brando). LOVE it so far, and can't wait to let these first eight pages sink in so I can keep reading. The big names of personal friends he knew - Hewlett, Packard, Polaroid, is FASCINATING. Even more so that he knew these guys before they were big. Recognized, appreciated, and took the time to knew before they were big.
