The Ten Best Warren Buffett Books of All Time
The Best of Warren Buffett
With the recession looming, the stock market in the tank, and worldwide economic uncertainty, it’s nice to know America has a man like billionaire Warren Buffett to turn to for investment advice. Buffett is to the stock market what Tiger Woods is to golf. He’s the best and second place really isn’t that close.
Unfortunately for American readers looking to learn from the Oracle of Omaha, there are 47 books about Warren Buffett still in print today. Since it would be impractical (and a bit redundant to read all 47), you have to wonder how in the world would someone know which book to choose?

These are some of the most enlightening and entertaining Warren Buffet Books, in fact The Snowball would have to be my favorite.
Although if you really want to learn specifics of Warren Buffet’s most useful strategies the more boring books which delve into the mathematics and balance sheet and financial statement analysis are the books you just have to read.
I say boring because for most people getting a handle on business mathematic and practicing analyzing business numbers is not most people’s idea of fun. Nonetheless the main reason Warren Buffet has become the most successful investor of our time is simply due to his uncanny ability to ever so quickly go over a businesses books and come up with a fairly accurate true or intrinsic worth of the company in question.
Of course many will say that warren Buffet is a natural at studying numbers, but if you asked him I’m sure he will tell you that he has spend thousands of hours crunching numbers of hundreds of company’s and it’s not natural ability that has earned him his stripes but good old fashioned American elbow grease aka hard work which has developed his efficiency at valuing a business.
Therefore I feel to effectively share in some of Warren’s success we have to follow in his footsteps and get acquainted with the quantitive or fundamental analysis which Warren is so good at performing by reading books such as Interpretation of Fundamental Analysis, Buffetology and the Buffetology Workbook are all excellent resources.
