来自 Florida 州 Jacksonville 的 Clayton Riley。

Clayton Riley from Jacksonville, Florida.

这个问题跟前面那些都稍微有点不一样,不过去年你在投资领域之外读过的最好的三本书是什么?

This is a little different than all the other questions, but what were the 3 best books you read last year outside of the investment field?

哪怕说一本也行。

Even one will do.

我先给你说一本——我先推荐一本我读过的书,不过现在还没出版,要到九月才会有。

I'll give you— I'll tout a book first that I've read, but that isn't available yet, but it will be in September.

写这本书的那位女士,我想,今天应该也在现场。这是 Ben Graham 的传记,作者是 Janet Lowe,九月会出版。

The woman who wrote it, I believe, is in the audience, and it's Ben Graham's biography, which will be available in September, by Janet Lowe.

我已经读过了,我觉得你们当中凡是对投资感兴趣的人,肯定都会喜欢。

And I've read it, and I think those of you who are interested in investments for sure will enjoy it.

她把 Ben 这个人写得很好,很传神。

She's done a good job of capturing Ben.

还有一本我特别喜欢的书,也是一个股东写的。他今天没来,因为我想他今天或者明天——也许是明天——要去宣誓就任 Voice of America 的负责人。

One of the books I enjoyed a lot was written also by a shareholder who's not here because he's being sworn in, I believe, today or tomorrow, maybe tomorrow, as head of the Voice of America.

那就是 Jeff Cowan 写的书,讲的是 The People v. Clarence Darrow。

And that's Jeff Cowan's book, which is on The People v. Clarence Darrow.

这本书讲的是大概一九一二年前后,在 Los Angeles 发生的 Clarence Darrow 审判,基本上是关于陪审团贿赂案。那时候 McNamara 兄弟炸了 LA Times。

It's the story of the Clarence Darrow trial for essentially jury bribery in Los Angeles back around 1912, when the McNamara brothers had bombed the LA Times.

这是一本非常吸引人的书。

It's a fascinating book.

Jeff 挖出了很多资料,那个——对。

Jeff uncovered a lot of information that— yeah.

那些都是以前写 Darrow 传记的人没有掌握的。

That previous biographies of Darrow didn't have.

我觉得你们会喜欢这本书。

I think you'd enjoy that.

Charlie,你是不是要——嗯,我非常喜欢 Connie Bruck 写的那本传记,Master of the Game,那是写 Steve Ross 的传记。他以前是 Warner 的负责人,后来算是,怎么说,Time Warner 的联席董事长。

Charlie, you're gonna— Well, I very much enjoyed Connie Bruck's biography, Master of the Game, which was a biography of Steve Ross, who headed Warner, and later was, what, co-chairman of Time Warner.

对,不只是联席董事长那么简单。

Yeah, a little more than co-chairman.

对,而且她是个观察很深刻的作者,这个故事本身也非常有意思。

Yeah, and she's a very insightful writer, and it's a very interesting story.

我最近又在重读一本我特别喜欢的书,就是 Van Doren 写的 Benjamin Franklin 传记,那本书是一九五二年出版的,我差点都忘了它有多好了。

I am rereading a book I really like, which is Van Doren's biography of Benjamin Franklin, which came out in 1952, and I'd almost forgotten how good a book it was.

而且这本书到处都能买到平装本。

And that's available in paperback everywhere.

我们这个国家从来没有过像 Franklin 这样的人,以后恐怕也不会再有了。

We've never had anybody quite like Franklin in this country, never again.

顺便说一句,你们可能记得,他也相信复利。

He believed in compound interest too, incidentally, as you may remember.

你看,他当年还设了两个小基金,一个在 Philadelphia,一个在 Boston。

What do you— he set up those 2 little funds, one in Philadelphia and one in Boston.

对。

Right.

对,就是为了展示复利的好处。

Yeah, to demonstrate the advantages of compound interest.

我觉得 Charlie 重读的大概就是这一段。

I think that's the part Charlie's rereading.
