22 books I'm buying again

About a month ago, my wife and I made an unpleasant discovery. The small room where we had temporarily stored memorabilia from the kids and my investment books during the move had become damp.

The books hadn’t gotten directly wet, but due to the moisture in the room over some time, almost all of them became moldy, resulting in a very strong odor.

I’m still trying to save my old edition of Poor Charlie's Almanack. I bought the new edition last year in Omaha during the Berkshire Meeting.

While sorting through and discarding more than 90 books, I made a list of the ones I want to repurchase—maybe they’ll interest you too.

While sorting through and unfortunately discarding more than 90 books, I also made a list of the ones I plan to repurchase.

In other words, these are the books I find worth spending money on twice, even though I've already gained the knowledge from them. Keep in mind that these nearly 100 books were already a selection from before the move, when we had given away some as well.

Fortunately, a few books could still be saved, though it was limited to these seven, which I would also repurchase if needed:

• Valuation: McKinsey

• Warren Buffett Speaks: Janet Lowe

• Buffett the making of an American Capitalist: Roger Lowenstein

• Beating the Street: Peter Lynch

• The Snowball: Alice Schroeder

• Het beleggersbrein: Luc Kroeze

• Soul in the Game: Vitaliy Katsenelson

These are mainly older books, as I started reading 25 years ago. Recommendations for more recent good investment books, biographies, or business stories are always welcome.
