<p><span>I finished reading <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Valley-Boy/dp/B000W9695Y/ref=dp_kinw_strp_1">Valley Boy by Tom Perkins</a> a few months ago, the first book I read on my Kindle.  Valley Boy is an autobiography filled with interesting stories about tech history, fancy cars, extreme wealth, famous people and sailing.  Perkins is one of those unique guys that was incredibly smart and worked his ass off to achieve elite status in the tech and venture world however, his passions seem to lay elsewhere in pursuits such as sailing and writing.  I love stories about people that are wildly rich and powerful but still get childishly excited about meeting one of their favorite authors.   </span></p>
