Founders at Work

I finally finished reading Jessica Livingston's Founders at Work and I know that I'll be re-reading (and then re-re-reading) some of those interviews in the near future. Wow. There's almost too much information for me to process about starting up a technology (or most any) company, including stories of what went wrong and right, how to do things better, what matters and what doesn't, and all sorts of other good stuff. There's nothing beyond the interviews, but those are enough (except the interview with the CEO of Lycos...all that one told me is don't hire that guy as a manager). Flexability and persistence seemed to be the two major themes, with passion and having a good co-founder close behind.
