I wanted to have this thread because I think we've all read books that have inspired us or that we believe could help out others in this forum with questions they have.
A while back, WiddleAvi asked me how to pick and evaluate stocks. As fate would have it, a good friend of mine recently gave me a great book that I think Widdle would get a lot out of. I certainly am.
I tried answering him, but I didn't do it to my satisfaction, this book certainly will answer his question and then some.
The book is called The Little Book That Builds Wealth by Pat Dorsey. A title like that, may seem the book sounds simple, but it stradles the fence between simple and complex rather well so that you will learn a lot. It isn't written to insult your inteligence.
Dorsey is the Director of Equity Research for Morningstar so he is certainly up to the task for this book. I'm a little more than halfway thru the book and he's hitting on things that I dismissed or haven't factored in in a while such as switching costs. |

Just finished a great book, The Year of Living Biblically by A. J. Jacobs. A very funny writer, making a serious one year journey into living the laws of the Bible. Great stories and some insights into trying to break down a book which is at turns clear and perplexing. Jacobs struggles with his own faith (a more-or-less secular New York Jew) in a funny way. Great book.

I forgot about this thread.
Anyone who has kids needs to read The Road by Cormac McCarthy. What an amazing, yet bleak, book.
