LIBRARIES FOREVER

Seth Godin is the world's most popular business blogger.

The #1 habit successful people share with me is this: They read books to learn. They do it often and with joy. It's cheap (or free, at the library or online) and portable and specific.


And from Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett's partner at Berkshire Hathaway:
"Poor Charlie's Almanack: The Wit and Wisdom of Charles T. Munger," page 479:

In my whole life, I have known no wise people (over a broad subject matter area) who didn't read all the time–none, zero. You'd be amazed at how much Warren [Buffett] reads–and at how much I read. My children laugh at me. They think I'm a book with a couple of legs sticking out.
