Tap Dancing to Work: Warren Buffett on Practically Everything

摘要

Over the past three decades, numerous books have been written about investment icon Warren Buffett. There have been biographies, books on his investment strategy, books devoted to his quotations, and books that simply put Buffett's name in the title to increase sales. When confronted with Carol J. Loomis's foray into the world of Buffett-Tap Dancing to Work: Warren Buffett on Practically Everything, 1966-2012-one must ask whether there is anything new to add. Loomis has collected numerous articles about Buffett published in Fortune (where she is a senior editor-at-large), including many of her own. The volume also contains excerpts from Buffett speeches, letters to shareholders, and transcripts of interviews. At first glance, this may seem like the easy way out-just another author cashing in on the public's fascination with Buffett. Loomis has managed to create a book while doing only a minimal amount of writing.
