Thomas, I'm sorry to say that I never got around to reading that book. If you are trying to get at his investment philosophy, the best place to start is by reading the letters to shareholders in the annual reports and the owner's manual. You can link to all of them at berkshirehathaway.com Another good idea is his article in fortune. You can find a link to here: hometown.aol.com Wayne

> I was thinking of reading Roger Lowenstein's "Buffett : The Making of an American Capitalist", and I noticed there are a few Buffett books out there . Do you have any opinion on this book compared to the others? Tom < I've read about 3 or 4 Buffett books in my time; Roger's book was easily the best among the bunch. He used to (maybe still does) write articles in the WSJ (or was it SmartMoney?) and I've found his writing in general to be solid. - barry
