Here are some books Buffett has recommended, I&#x27;m sure there are tons of other books, these are just the ones that have stuck with me.<p>Investing:
1) The Intelligent Investor - Benjamin Graham
2) Security Analysis - Benjamin Graham
3) Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits - Philip Fisher
4) The Little Book of Common Sense Investing - John Bogle
5) The Most Important Thing - Howard Marks<p>Economics:
1) An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations - Adam Smith
2) Where Are the Customers&#x27; Yachts: or A Good Hard Look at Wall Street - Fred Schwed
3) stuff by John Maynard Keynes (never heard him mention exact title)<p>Others:
1) Poor Charlie&#x27;s Almanac - Charles Munger
2) Business Adventures - John Brooks
3) How to win friends and influence people - Dale Carnegie<p>Then there are some things I&#x27;ve never heard him explicitly recommend but I think are definitely worth reading:
1) Letter to shareholders (all of them, you can find the ones of his partnership and earlier ones online)
2) The Snowball - Alice Schroeder
3) Tap Dancing to Work - Carol Loomis
(There are tons of books on Buffett, but these two are friends of his)<p>Also, if you ever go to his shareholders meeting, there&#x27;s a whole list of &quot;Buffett approved books&quot;. Some that I can remember from this years meeting (other then the ones mentioned above):
1) all of them found on <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.poorcharliesalmanack.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.poorcharliesalmanack.com&#x2F;</a>
2) Dream Big - Cristiane Correa
3) a bunch more that I cant remember<p>Finally on his investing, he has laid out a bunch of times what he believes is best for ordinary people who aren&#x27;t going to devote most of their time to investing namely, buy a low cost index fund (he recommends Vanguards, I believe it was this one <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;personal.vanguard.com&#x2F;us&#x2F;funds&#x2F;snapshot?FundId=0540&amp;FundIntExt=INT" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;personal.vanguard.com&#x2F;us&#x2F;funds&#x2F;snapshot?FundId=0540&amp;...</a> )
I&#x27;m not quite sure why so little people (that I know) listen to him. It seems that people want to show that they can outperform the market, but rarely do.
