Default Inspiring books for entrepreneurs?

I'm working on a blog post on books that entrepreneurs have found
inspiring on their journey to becoming and being entrepreneurs.

Please let me know: a) What book (s) have inspired you either to
turn entrepreneur or on some aspect of being an entrepreneur?

b) Why? A line or two about the book.

Thanks

Rework by the Founders of 37signals. It deserves to sit on my desk permanently next to where I work (It also says inspiration is perishable, but there we go).

Its such a refreshing insight into the world of business. It makes for great debate, and forces your to think about stuff that is otherwise passed off as "conventional wisdom".

Has anyone read Ryan Blairs - 'Nothing to Lose, Everything to Gain'?

Thoughts and opinions?
