Poor Charlie's Almanac

I just finished reading an excellent book about the wit and wisdom of Charles T. Munger. Who is Charles T. Munger? He is the "silent partner" of Warren Buffett. The book ended with transcripts of some his more important talks. The final talk is a talk never made but well worth reading - "The Psychology of Human Misjudgement." Anyone can always learn from someone with so much accumulated wisdom. I plan to re-read this talk more than once. The end of the book also gives a list of his recommended books. As quoted early in this blog:

"If I have seen farther than others, it is because I was standing on the shoulders of giants." - Isaac Newton

Charlie Munger is a giant and I can only benefit from reading his recommendations.
