芒格說(shuō)：“在這投資領(lǐng)域中，若沒做過(guò)扎實(shí)的閱讀工夫，我不認(rèn)為你可以成為真正優(yōu)秀的投資人，而我也不認(rèn)為有哪一本書可以為你做到這些。” 在閱讀中，建立自己的“思維模式格柵”，這需要大量閱讀數(shù)學(xué)、生物學(xué)、物理學(xué)、社會(huì)學(xué)、心理學(xué)、哲學(xué)和文學(xué)等各學(xué)科及相關(guān)學(xué)科中著名科學(xué)家的重要著述，了解并熟悉書中介紹的核心概念，將不同學(xué)科的思考模式聯(lián)系起來(lái)并融會(huì)貫通。同時(shí)，將這些理論應(yīng)用到投資上去，進(jìn)行正確思考和獨(dú)立思考，進(jìn)而聰明地投資，從而取得最佳投資回報(bào)。
　　芒格說(shuō)：“我想自己不是受到良好教育的典范，我是自己學(xué)會(huì)通過(guò)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(lái)讀書，這就是智慧的來(lái)源。
　　在每年的Berkshire Hathaway、Wesco股東大會(huì)和演講中，芒格都會(huì)推薦一些書籍，現(xiàn)將有關(guān)書籍、出處及評(píng)論整理如下：
　　一、傳記類
　　芒格十分喜歡讀傳記。芒格說(shuō)：“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(huì)把經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)學(xué)得更好。“同那些已經(jīng)過(guò)世的偉人交朋友”這聽起來(lái)很荒唐。但是如果你一生中總是與那些有遠(yuǎn)見卓識(shí)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

　　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

　　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.

　　"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."

    二、自然科學(xué)類
　　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(huì)上，芒格說(shuō)：“在投資上，生物學(xué)上的原因能夠幫助預(yù)測(cè)商業(yè)進(jìn)化過(guò)程的結(jié)果，商業(yè)和生物進(jìn)化有很多相似性。”

　　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(yǔ)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

　　"It's a very interesting book for a certain academic type". - 2001 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting
　　

    三、 社會(huì)科學(xué)類
　　芒格認(rèn)為挑選股票是處世藝術(shù)的一個(gè)分支，要將投資視為處世能力的一部分來(lái)理解。芒格不但十分喜歡在歷史傳統(tǒng)等方面對(duì)國(guó)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(huì)發(fā)展史、心理學(xué)、管理學(xué)或者綜合學(xué)科的著作。

　　I recommend that everyone read the last book by Garrett Hardin--Living Within Limits. It is a summary of the major things Hardin has learned in a lifetime. He is a real thinker. That is a fabulous book." (June 30, 1993)
　　Garrett Harden "was 78 years old when he wrote it. I advise you to read it twice (which I did)...because it is the condensed wisdom of a very smart man." , 1997 Wesco Annual Meeting.
　　29、《蘇格蘭人如何發(fā)明現(xiàn)代世界：西歐最窮的國(guó)家如何創(chuàng)造了世界》，How the Scots Invented the Modern World: The True Story of How Western Europe's Poorest Nation Created Our World and Everything in It by Arthur Herman(亞瑟?赫爾曼),

　　30、《國(guó)富國(guó)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.

　　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."

　　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(zhǎng)股》,Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits ,Conservative Investors Sleep Well,Developing an Investment Philosophy Phil Fisher(費(fèi)舍爾)

　　45、《誠(chéng)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
