The Snowball

This authorized biography of Warren H. Buffett gives you insight into the mind of the greatest investor of our generation, and possibly ever. It's a long book objectively, around 900 pages, but subjectively the book breezes by. Warren from childhood to the twilight of his life is a depiction of a child who seemed like he was destined to work with money, but who also, recognized the providence of fate that allowed him to born in a nation that nurtured him.

I loved the book. It was well written, very detailed, and fun to read. I would rate this book a buy. It gives you so much information in such an easily absorbed format that one feels a little wiser after reading it. It looks great on a bookshelf, and it may even increase your investing circle of competence. Pick it up.

A Review of To Die For the People

The Black Panthers are a very misunderstood group. This is especially true when it comes to the leadership of the organization. Huey Newton's autobiography "Revolutionary Suicide" explains his life, "To Die For the People" explains his worldview and shows the deductive processes by which he led the Black Party organization.

The book is a collection of speeches throughout his life as leader. It is a fascinating testament to what the party stood for and what Huey himself believed in. It allows the reader to judge the Black Panther Party, and Huey Newton for themselves. It is a must read for anyone intersted in history of the African American advancement movement.

Losing My Virginity

Losing My Virginity

Richard Branson is a billionaire who wrote and autobiography. That fact alone makes his biography worth reading. Besides this fact though, “Losing My Virginity” is a great book. The book covers nearly fifty years of Branson’s life, starting with his childhood in England and ending shortly after his battle to establish Virgin Airlines. It is definitely worth picking up.

Virgin records, Virgin Music, and various other Virgin businesses are Branson’s creation. In the book he explains his highs and lows and hides very little about himself. Things that many memoir writers might leave out, like his infidelity and legal troubles, are included in the book and one cannot help but respect Branson for that. What is best is how entertaining the book is. Biographies can run the risk of being dry and uninteresting, Branson avoids all of these things.

For anyone who wants to start a business, or who just wants to read a good autobiography, I recommend picking up “Losing My Virginity”. I’ve read it twice.
