A week ago Saturday Bobily made a trek to the Lomas Tramway Library (pictured above) to "check it out." We both needed to renew our cards. Having attended school the last few years and having access to theUNM libraries we haven't really needed access to the city libraries. I think the cards look pretty spiffy too.
We have access to the internet for free during operating hours and we have access to tons of free books.
In addition to being a library nerd I (Bob) am also a finance nerd. Here are my finds from the library last week:
"The Intelligent Investor" by Benjamin Graham
- Warren Buffett (the second richest man in the world behind Bill Gates) considers the book, "By far the best book on investing ever written."
- Some people think of Donald Trump as one of the richest men out there--he's worth $2.9 Billion while Warren Buffett is worth $52 Billion.
- I'm reading this to see what the hype is all about. I'll let you know.
- Malkiel wrote a book called, "A Random Walk Down Walstreet" that I really enjoyed. We'll see if he just repeats himself or if he's added to his material.
We'll let you know what we think...

Well Bob, I can tell you that the first 30 pages or so of Rich Dad Poor Dad was pretty interesting... read like a story book. Actually the first 30 pages was a story. At that point I decided to go back to school so I haven't picked it up since! Now that I'm unemployed again (mass layoffs tend toward the newer employees) maybe I'll pick it back up... let me know what you think of the book!
