We read books for a number of reasons but usually because we want

to or we have to. When you pick up a book it falls into one of three types,
dependent on whether it is a want to or a have to type of book. First there's
the kind of book you pick up and like the look of but then the first chapter is
so bad that you have to put it down because you are either too confused by the
plot or you discover it has been written in some obscure untranslatable language.

The second type is where the first chapter is slightly disappointing but it is
worth pursuing so you read on. These books are often the type you recommend to

as any pulp fiction novel - you've read the story somewhere before but you are
on holiday so it is either this or the guide book).

The third type of book is a rare breed indeed. This is the book you read and
then read and then read some more. It is the type of book that you miss things

computer programmer but not with holding the position of chair and chief
executive officer (CEO) of a corporation. Actually, Bill Gates is both a
programmer and CEO. To talk about Bill Gates one has to talk about the history
of Microsoft.

Gates' family was financially well off.  His father, William H. Gates II, is a
prominent attorney.  His mother, Mary, is the director of First Interstate Bank.
Early on in life, Gates' parents placed him into Lakeside, an academically
challenging private school. While at Lakeside, Gates met his close friend and
future business partner Paul Allen. Together they entered the world of
programming at Lakeside.

It all started on October 28, 1955, in Seattle, Washington, where one of the
brains behind Microsoft Corporation was born, William Henry Gates III. At
thirteen he started going t...
