I read a lot of biographies, and I have to say that, these are my favourites:

Somebody gave me this book, I would have never bought it in a million years, and it was the best biography I have ever read - interesting, insightful, and eye-opening.

I bought this one on my Kindle and it was a great read - you hear stories of how eccentric and strange Jobs was but this is the only biography he ever cooperated with and it is amazing to peer into the eclectic mind of Jobs to see what makes it tick. You don't need to be an Apple fanboy to be interested in how one of the most valuable companies in the world came to be.

Richard Branson's autobiography... it's edgy and pulls no punches, but makes you realize what an unbelievable gambler he is - the risks they took along the way to build Virgin makes you realize how aggressive most mega-successful entrepreneurs are.

Those 3 books are must-reads if you are interested in business and the people within it.
