What I spent July reading

The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life by Alice Schroeder


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Buffett is a fascinating man - obviously very intelligent, but eccentric and socially inadequate. This huge, detailed book is an "authorised" biography which begins in childhood and brings us almost completely up to date. Not an investment guide, nor a hagiography, the book gives us a close insight into the life of the world's richest man. Overlong, but hugely enjoyable.

Paperback comes out next week.
