“In my whole life, I have know no wise people (over a broad subject matter area) who didn’t read all the time- none, zero. You’d be amazed at how much Warren reads- and at how much I read. My children laugh at me. They think I’m a book with a couple of legs sticking out” Charlie Munger

Following his lead, I want to share a list from one of the most brilliant minds of our lifetime, Charlie Munger. The following list comes from Poor Charlie’s Almanack
