I mean if I'm hiring someone who has listed a book on their resume I'm not going to read the entire thing before hiring them.

Apparently you won't even read the dust cover synopsis, either. That's the legendary "Apple pedigree" that you hear so much about.

How long can a hiring manager at Apple give to evaluating a candidate? Reading a book will take 10+ hours. In this case it would obviously have been a good idea for everyone (although an emotionally well-adjusted hiring manager might read it and not realize that it would create such a shitstorm).

Let's be clear here, this isn't some minor technical book - his autobiography was on the New York Times best-seller list for business books and was reviewed in the paper.
