Big bad Bill

Bill Gates likes to relax at home by racing his wife Melinda at assembling
identical jigsaws. This and other useless-but-illuminating facts pepper Bill
Gates Speaks, a collection of big bad Bill’s bon mots, strung together with a
narrative by Janet Lowe that builds into a loose biography. The best tales cover
his early (commercial) years—writing an operating system that will fit
into 4 kilobytes of memory space—but as the book is subtitled “Insight
from the world’s greatest entrepreneur”, the fawning tone is set early.
