Not by Buffett, but you'll love Poor Charlie's Alamanack, by Charlie Munger, his lifelong business partner.

For Buffett I recommend Essays of Warren Buffett. Regarding Munger’s Almanack, I wrote a nice summary just before his death:

”A real estate investment of $24 by the Dutch to buy the island of Manhattan would today be roughly equivalent to $3 trillion. Across 378 years, that’s about a seven percent annual compound rate of return…”

Buffet said of Munger:

> “In terms of managing money, there wasn’t anybody better in the world to talk to for many, many decades than Charlie.”

Buffet gets all the press, but he acknowledges Munger as a huge part, if you listen.


Munger really gave Buffet wings. They did it together.


It's a great book (I think), reading it now. It's the only book this far that I've brought with me to the gym (because I wanted to continue reading it, in between the exercises)
