Tap Dancing to Work
Carol Loomis was a writer and editor at Fortune for decades and a close friend of Warren Buffett, and she pulled together this collection of the magazine's best pieces about him from 1966 to 2012. The articles trace Buffett's career as it happened, some written by Loomis, some by Buffett himself, and some by other Fortune staff. Read together they show how his thinking developed and how he explained it in his own words over the years. Buffett himself recommended the book in his 2012 shareholder letter. The title comes from his habit of saying he tap dances to work because he loves what he does.
