I quite liked this one. Lots of engaging stories and anecdotes from the trenches:

It's been mentioned, but I loved iWoz and iCon. iWoz was especially good.

A book that I highly highly highly recommend is the Pixar book by david price:
http://www.amazon.com/Pixar-Touch-Vi.../dp/0307278298
Steve Jobs is in it but it really shows a fascinating story that goes from graphics in the 70s, to lucas to movies to disney... it was a page turning 'till 4:00 am book for me. (to my surprise)

Here's another vote for iCon. I listened to the audiobook, and it's a pretty honest, open read.
