This bio of Steve Jobs brought about the ban on selling Wiley books from all Apple retail stores, which I think is unncessarily harsh. The book doesn't shy away from exposing Steve's megalomania, but also offers up much praise for Steve's creativity and the impressive feat of dominating 3 industries (computer, film, music). Enjoyable read.

Can't get into it. I like my mysteries better written.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Another yummy plot from JK. Didn't really enjoy the Dumbledore monologue at the end where he catches Harry up with the history of his scar. Was definitely laughing out loud at parts involving Professor Umbridge, the pink cardigan "Hem hem!" stout and pursed lips professor from the Ministry of Magic who takes over the school when Dumbledore flees.
