Not long after I first met Warren Buffett back in 1991, I asked him to recommend his favorite book about business. He didn't miss a beat: "It's 'Business Adventures,' by John Brooks," he said. "I'll send you my copy." I was intrigued: I had never heard of "Business Adventures" or John Brooks. – source
