I can't recommend the book enough I've read it a few times already.

Classic books before you go outside software hardware
"Showstopper! The Breakneck Race to Create Windows NT and the Next Generation at Microsoft"
http://www.amazon.com/Showstopper-Breakneck-Windows-Generati...
"Money from Thin Air: The Story of Craig McCaw, the Visionary who Invented the Cell Phone Industry, and His Next Billion-Dollar Idea"
http://www.amazon.com/Money-Thin-Air-Visionary-Billion-Dolla...
Any bio related to blockbuster drug discovery like:
"Laughing Gas, Viagra, and Lipitor: The Human Stories behind the Drugs We Use"
http://www.amazon.com/Laughing-Gas-Viagra-Lipitor-Stories/dp...
Kinda off-beat but "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" by Tom Wolfe
And if you've read many references to "Founders at Work" and do not yet own your own copy, it is the best startup book out there.

I haven't seen this edition, but if the comments are correct, try and find an original from 1994 (has a shiny cover with big red letters) to avoid the printing errors.
It's written for a general audience, but still has some technical details in it. It's more interesting from a business and personality standpoint - at that level of software development doing things like kicking holes in your office walls becomes a little more acceptable (that would have gotten me fired at any job I've held)
