Right now I'm reading Palo Alto by Malcolm Harris. One might be able to read chapters in any order one wants. I'm not sure it's the first book I would read on the subject of semiconductors, but once you get a good feeling of what semiconductors are; how they were "discovered" and developed; the history; then maybe it would be okay to start. This had to have been a labor of love for Harris.
