    11 One Up On Wall Street by Peter Lynch

    Peter Lynch ran Fidelity’s Magellan Fund from 1977 to 1990, beating the S&P 500 in all but two of those years. He averaged annual returns of 29%. It means that $1 grew to more than $27. In other words, if you invested as little as $37,000 with him in 1977, you were a millionaire in 1990.

    55 The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham

    This is the book that started it all. Ben Graham was Buffett’s professor at Columbia University and it changed the way Buffett saw the world forever. Graham’s precise approach to valuation and understanding of the conservative and enterprising investor has stood the test of time and Jason Zweig’s additional commentary helps the uninitiated along the way.
