This book is one of the best on Steve Jobs for two reasons: 1. It has all the insider information into how Jobs was thinking about projects and how he attacked issues. 2. It pulled no punches when showing him in a negative light. In the end, the book is very open about his life, the right and wrong things he's done, and an honest introspective into one of the greatest CEO's of the 20th century.

Super Mario is a fast-paced history lesson on the world of Nintendo and how they entered the video game market at a time when it was company-suicide. The origins of the famed plumber begin with a failed game that needed a quick conversion to a radical new game: Donkey Kong. Mario was born and the rest is history.
Ryan does a good job taking us through the different Mario games and video game eras of the 80's and 90's while keeping the content light and interesting. While I would've wanted more about how Nintendo dealt with becoming a behemoth with the NES, the focus never strays far from Mario himself. A solid book for anyone who even has a passing-interest in video games.
