Bookshelf
276 books across 12 years. The quake books are the ones that changed how I think.
In my whole life, I have known 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.
These are the books that fundamentally shifted my worldview — the ones I return to and reference constantly. Not the best books I've read, but the ones that left the deepest mark.
Every book tagged by topic — this is what feeds into the Portfolio Ideas pages.
A private library is not an ego-boosting appendage but a research tool. Read books are far less valuable than unread ones. The library should contain as much of what you do not know as your financial means, mortgage rates, and the currently tight real-estate market allow you to put there. You will accumulate more knowledge and more books as you grow older, and the growing number of unread books on the shelves will look at you menacingly. Indeed, the more you know, the larger the rows of unread books. Let us call this collection of unread books an antilibrary.
