The education of Tom Perkins was an easy book to get into and I finished it in a few days. Ive always wondered about the venture capital side of the business, and although it is not a book about venture capital, it does blend together a number of interesting business and personal events. In the book the author has an experience of dumping his collection of rare cars before the market turns down. He sensed the market value wouldnt hold, decided to auction his cars, and within a year the market for those cars significantly dropped. For guys like Mr. Perkins, its not the money that the reader will necessarily want since the author does not directly discuss wealth, its the approach to life the guy has, and consequently, an interesting life from a guy that worked on something worthwhile according to his blissful interests.
