I've finally finished reading The intelligent investor by Benjamin Graham, though I bought the book last year. Well, it's going to be the first of my reading. I expect myself to re-read certain chapters again and again.
Actually I thought I'll never be able to finish. I don't really fancy his rather arcane way of writing - a little to rigid for me, though his content is as interesting in the past as in the present. To force myself to finish reading, I actually borrowed the same book from the library. Having a dateline of 3 weeks to finish the book before my book is due makes it an extra incentive to finish it.
To be frank, not all chapters are interesting. It's good that Jason Zweig's commentary after each chapter makes the dry bit a little more bearable. But past 1/4 mark, I think the stuff becomes more of a page turner, especially the infamous chapter 8 and chapter 20. May I add one more chapter too? It's under Appendixes, pg 537 - The Superinvestors of Graham-and-Doddsville by Warren Buffett. I think that chapter should be my guiding light when the market grows dim and the wind blew those candlesticks off - it's pretty inspiring.
