A few weeks back I won a contest held by JLP over at allfinancialmatters.com. My prize for winning the contest was a book titled “Poor Charlie’s Almanack – The Wit and Wisdom of Charles T. Munger.”
After 2 weeks with the book and reading the first 30 pages or so, I can say I’m really enjoying it. I hope to do a full review when I finally finish the book (501 pages).
Thanks, JLP.
I’m in the process of building up my collection of personal finance books. My most recent purchases include:
The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham
The Essays of Warren Buffet: Lessons For Corporate America by Warren E. Buffet
I know that books were on J.D.’s list of Ten Things You Shouldn’t Buy New, but I was unable to find these two books anywhere. Plus, I’m sure that I’ll read them more than once.
Before my wife and I moved in November 2006, we frequented a few different used book stores. However, since the move, we’ve been unable to find anything comparable. So it seems like we’re left with only a few options: Library, Big Box Bookstore and Internet. This time around I went with the Internet and Amazon.com. They had a great deal on these two books and free shipping.
I’ll pass along any interesting lessons from either book.
