pickI decided to read this immediately after I finished Walter Isaacson's biography of Elon Musk to compare and contrast two men with very different images. Both have created monumental changes in the world of technology. Both men have very similar characteristics: unending drive, big thinking, challenging the status quo. But readers should also be paying close attention to their negative aspects, mutual fallibilities and personal failures.
so-soGreat understanding of the life of Steve Jobs
pickVery interesting read!! It‘s crazy to think@how one man has Influenced so much of how our modern culture lives and interacts. Definitely recommend.
What a fantastic book! The book is mostly narrative, of course, but it has a thesis: That Jobs changed. The brilliant but dysfunctional human being that created Apple and the Mac, but was ejected from the company he founded, mellowed, learned and was chastised into a better person—along all the axes of “better.“ Although in no way a management advice book, still less a life-advice book, I found it usefully reflective for me personally.
Ladies, I am sorry I am failing this round. I just got my books back but still have 2 others to read.

panThis ended up being a pan for me, but not the worst. I feel like all I really learned about this was how awful Steve Jobs was as a person. Thank you for a great round! And @staci.reads I enjoyed your notes you sent with each book! ❤️ #LMPBC @cwarnier @allureofbeauty
pickA memoir by Steve Jobs's oldest child, whom he denied paternity of for the first years of her life. It focuses almost exclusively on the dysfunctional relationships with her parents, so we don't get to see the various sides of the author as well as in most memoirs. It was compelling, though, and I read it in a day. It was my Sept. #LMPBC for #GroupC. Thanks for the pick @cwarnier!
@kellyann28 it will be on its way to you soon! @allureofbeauty
pickI enjoyed this book more than I originally thought I would.
It has been sent onward to @staci.reads

panI really wanted to like this one, but I just didn't. I felt like the story line jumped around so much that sometimes it was difficult to follow.
I expected life to be difficult for Lisa, but not to have a egotistical, narcissistic jerk of a father.

I wish I had some ability to focus to read today. Hopefully later.
@kellyann28 I just got Paris Apt in the mail today. I can't wait to read it.
