As with many investors, value-investors specifically, I am an avid reader. I make time to read for at least an hour and a half every day. Throughout the years I have read quite a few books, some of which have inspired me, improved and changed my investment approach, and even changed my life.
I want to provide fellow investors with a list of books (not all will be investment related) that I have personally read, and enjoyed, as well as a list of the books I plan to read throughout this year. I will post updated lists throughout the year as new books are added and removed. I will also be sharing articles and other material I read that may be beneficial to other investors too.
