Steve Jobs Writing an Autobiography?

Valleyway claims that Steve jobs may have started writing his autobiography.

"Steve Jobs has started writing a book," a plugged-in tipster tells me. It's the barest of rumors, but the book industry is already eagerly anticipating the Apple CEO's autobiography.

Jobs recently took leave from Apple due to medical reasons and expects to return in June.

In order to take myself out of the limelight and focus on my health, and to allow everyone at Apple to focus on delivering extraordinary products, I have decided to take a medical leave of absence until the end of June.

Valleywag has a pretty spotty history with Apple rumors, so it is difficult to read too much into this.

Well, he's certainly got some time in his hands. If it's true, I (and no doubt the world!) very much look forward to reading it.

Hah! The man who says that his medical condition is a personal matter and is of no one else's business suddenly decides to write his life away? What dribble!

I would buy it in a second...and I haven't touched a book in years (I haven't even read my textbooks from uni since I got them!)

I'd probably recommend it as "a must read" for all incoming college freshman...:)

If true, it's sure to be a great read. I got "the second comming of Steve Jobs" from audible a couple of years back (before the iTunes store existed) and i Realy enjoyed it. A book written by SJ himself will surely be better.

Would be an interesting read but it seems unlikely for someone who likes to guard their privacy. I wonder if he'd release an e-book for the Kindle users?

I agree. Besides, didn't he declare a while back that no one reads anymore?
;)

Oh, I guess he was right:

You say that as if it is something to be proud of…

I'd certainly read it, and all I do is read books these days! .... It's got to be more interesting than what I'm currently reading. (Crispin Wright's Truth and Objectivity Fun times.)

Steve Jobs himself said that nobody reads books anymore when asked about an Apple e-book. I wonder who he is writing it for.
