Does anyone have their own, or links to stories about start-ups, successful, disastrous and otherwise?

I found this link which was fascinating (to me) and I'd like to hear more stories. Reading Joel On Software was also really interesting, but I have read all the posts now.

This is a great book about start-ups:

Founders At Work @ Amazon

You should absolutely check out Masters of Doom, a great book about the startup and struggles at iD software.

I also recommend this reading. Couldn't stop reading once I put my hands in it.

It's like the Pirates of Silicon Valley movie but about games :)
