芒格說：“我想自己不是受到良好教育的典范，我是自己學(xué)會通過閱讀而獲取自己想要的信息的。我一生中常常如此。我經(jīng)常是更喜歡已經(jīng)作古的杰出導(dǎo)師而不喜歡仍在人世的老師。”
如果你想得到智慧，你需要安靜地坐下來讀書，這就是智慧的來源。
在每年的Berkshire Hathaway、Wesco股東大會和演講中，芒格都會推薦一些書籍，現(xiàn)將有關(guān)書籍、出處及評論整理如下：
一、傳記類
芒格十分喜歡讀傳記。芒格說：“我認(rèn)為，如果你想把一些偉大的有用的思想教給人們的話，傳記是一種更易于使人們將思想創(chuàng)立者的生活與人格聯(lián)系在一起的方式。如果你同亞當(dāng)?斯密交朋友，你會把經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)學(xué)得更好。“同那些已經(jīng)過世的偉人交朋友”這聽起來很荒唐。但是如果你一生中總是與那些有遠(yuǎn)見卓識的故人交友的話，那么你將生活得更好，更有教養(yǎng)。這比僅僅講一些大道理強(qiáng)多了。”
1、《富蘭克林自傳》，The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin
2、《富蘭克林》， Benjamin Franklin by Carl Van Doren. Penguin USA, June 23, 1994
Charlie Munger also recommended reading "anything about his personal hero, Benjamin Franklin." - 1998 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting

7、《約翰遜傳, 通向權(quán)力之路,參院之主>,The Path to Power (The Years of Lyndon Johnson, Volume 1) (Robert Caro羅伯特?卡洛)
I loved Caro’s book – I thought it was very well done. I think reading his biography on LBJ is very important for anyone who wants a view into the human condition. LBJ never told the truth when a lie would be better. This is the way he went through life. He had a high intellect and extraordinary energy and did a lot of good along with the bad. I’m not sure he didn’t do more good than bad. But I think it’s an appalling life to lie as much as LBJ. What I said at Berkshire meeting about the robber barons applies here: “When he’s talking, he’s lying, and when he’s quiet, he’s stealing.” Charlie Munger, 2004 Wesco Annual Meeting
8、《安德魯.卡耐基》，Andrew Carnegie by Joseph Frazier Wall（約瑟夫.弗雷澤.沃）， 2003 WESCO Annual Meeting
9、《洛克菲勒:一個關(guān)于財(cái)富的神話》，Titan: The Life of John D. Rockefeller, Sr. by Ron Chernow(羅恩?切爾諾), 1999 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting
I must confess that I am a hopeless lover of biographies and autobiographies. With that caveat in mind I found this book on the life of Mr. Rockefeller intriguing. The life he lived, the company he created, and his management style are all worth studying. I also found it an interesting case study on monopolies and I found myself contrasting the situations of Standard Oil and Microsoft often.
10、《比爾?蓋茲與微軟帝國的創(chuàng)建》，Hard Drive: Bill Gates and the Making of the Microsoft Empire by James Wallace and Jim Erickson（華萊士與艾瑞克森）.
"I think Bill Gates' biography, is a very useful book. You really get a feeling for what it took to write and sell software in the software revolution." -June 30, 1993 - Wesco Annual Meeting
11、Les Schwab Pride in Performance:Keep It Going by Les Schwab ，2004 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting.
Les Schwab autobiography which gives a very good idea on small business compensation plans."
"If you want to read one book, read the autobiography of Les Schwab. He ran tire shops in the Midwest and made a fortune by being shrewd in a tough business by having good systems…He made hundreds of millions selling tires" Charlie Munger, 2004 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting.
12、《購并霸業(yè)：時(shí)代華納總裁史蒂夫?羅斯傳》Master of the Game:Steve Ross and the Creation of Time Warner"by Connie Bruck. June 23, 1994
芒格還十分喜歡科普讀物，特別是關(guān)于進(jìn)化論方面的內(nèi)容。在1997 Berkshire Hathaway股東大會上，芒格說：“在投資上，生物學(xué)上的原因能夠幫助預(yù)測商業(yè)進(jìn)化過程的結(jié)果，商業(yè)和生物進(jìn)化有很多相似性。”

"Genome which is the history of a species in 23 chapters, is a perfectly amazing book -- and very interesting." Charlie Munger - 2001 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting
17、《自私的基因》，The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins（理查德?道金斯）;
One fabulous book is The Selfish Gene, which provides basic insights on human conditions."" - 2000 Wesco Annual Meeting
18、《盲眼鐘表匠》，The Blind Watchmaker : Why the Evidence of Evolution Reveals a Universe Without Design" by Richard Dawkins（理查德?道金斯）. August 8, 1996
19、《溫度，決定一切》，A Matter of Degrees: What Temperature Reveals About the Past and Future of Our Species, Planet, and Universe by Gino segre（基諾?沙格瑞）
"A Matter of Degrees, by physicist named Segre, is a perfectly marvelous book. Not a book you can go through at 90 mph, but if you parse through it slowly, you'll get a lot out of it. You'll get a lot of hours per dollar if you use it right." 2003 Wesco Annual Meeting.
20、《語言本能》， The Language Instinct: How the Mind Creates Language by Steven Pinker(史蒂芬?平克), March 13, 1998
21、"No Two Alike: Human Nature and Human Individuality" by Judith Rich Harris. Poor Charlie's Almanack

24、The Martian of Science:Five Physicists Who Changed the Twentieth Century by Peter Bevelin（彼得?貝弗林，《尋找智慧：從達(dá)爾文到芒格》的作者）， 2007 WESCO Annual Meeting
25、《三個科學(xué)家和他們各自的上帝：在信息時(shí)代尋找生命的意義》，Three Scientists and Their Gods: Looking For Meaning in An Age of Information by Robert Wright,，Robert Wright（羅伯特.懷特），
"It's a very interesting book for a certain academic type". - 2001 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting
芒格認(rèn)為挑選股票是處世藝術(shù)的一個分支，要將投資視為處世能力的一部分來理解。芒格不但十分喜歡在歷史傳統(tǒng)等方面對國家的興衰貧富演變作了精湛而深刻的分析的書籍，而且十分喜歡經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)，特別是認(rèn)為經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)是“the queen of the soft sciences in many respects”,因此，他推薦了一些社會發(fā)展史、心理學(xué)、管理學(xué)或者綜合學(xué)科的著作。

Guns, Germs,gun and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies by Jared Diamond(戴蒙德)，

30、《國富國窮》，The Weath and Poverty of Nations:Why Some Are So Richand Some So Poor，by David S. Landes（戴維.S.蘭德斯），1999 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting
This important book examines how wealth and culture intertwine over time and the effects both can have on nations. It provides a thoughtful, rational explanation of why various cultures that possess certain advantages never have become world powers. It also examines why certain countries have become so successful and why others have fallen. Everyone should study the reasons why certain countries have been successful and others have not so we can learn from those challenges and not be doomed to repeat the same mistakes
31、《影響力》，Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion by Robert B. Cialdini(2000)；"This program will help executives make better decisions and use their influence wisely . . . Robert Cialdini has had a greater impact on my thinking on this topic than any other scientist."

芒格說：“我想我和巴菲特從一些好的商業(yè)雜志中得到的比從其它地方多，閱讀每一期各類的企業(yè)報(bào)導(dǎo)，便能輕松且快速地獲得各種企業(yè)經(jīng)驗(yàn)，而且如果你能養(yǎng)成一種思考習(xí)慣，將所讀到的內(nèi)容與這些想法的基本架構(gòu)結(jié)合在一起，你可以逐漸累積一些投資智慧。”在投資理論上，芒格推薦了一些股票投資方面的書籍，還推薦了一些有關(guān)公司丑聞的書籍。
38、《聰明的投資者》,The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham(本杰明?格雷厄姆)
39、《證券分析》,Security Analysis by Benjamin Graham(本杰明?格雷厄姆)
the single greatest book on investing in my opinion
40、《價(jià)值再發(fā)現(xiàn)--走進(jìn)投資大師本杰明》，The Rediscovered Benjamin Graham ：Selected Writings of the Wall Street Legend by Janet lowe（珍妮特?洛爾）
Views on Ben Graham's Ideas :The idea of a margin of safety, a Graham precept, will never be obsolete. The idea of making the market your servant will never be obsolete. The idea of being objective and dispassionate will never be obsolete. So Graham had a lot of wonderful ideas.
I liked Graham, and he always interested and amused me. But I never had the worship for buying the stocks he did. So I don't have the worship for that Warren does. I picked up the ideas, but discarded the practices that didn't suit me. I don't want to own bad businesses run by people I don't like and say, "no matter how horrible this is to watch, it [the stock] will bounce by 25%." I'm not temperamentally attracted to it.
41、《怎樣選擇成長股》,Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits ,Conservative Investors Sleep Well,Developing an Investment Philosophy Phil Fisher(費(fèi)舍爾)
The one of the all-time great books on investing in my opinion
Phil Fisher believed in concentrated investing and knowing a lot about your companies -- it's in our playbook, which is partly because we learned from him.

I like that book that I recommended [a while ago] in which the guy that explained all of these weird guys at the horse races – a value investing thing with a lot of math in it. It’s a very worthy book and you all ought to read it. 2006 WESCO Annual Meeting
45、《誠信的背后：華爾街圈錢游戲的真相》（也譯為泥鴿靶），F.I.A.S.C.O: The inside story of a Wall Street Trader by Frank Partnoy;
(...) Read the book “F.I.A.S.C.O.”, by law professor and former derivatives trader Frank Partnoy, an insider account of depravity in derivative trading at one of the biggest and best regarded Wall Street firms. The book will turn your stomach. - 10/2003
46、《愚者的陰謀》，Conspiracy of Fools: A True Story" by Kurt Eichenwald, 2005 WESCO Annual Meeting
