[Personal History - Katherine Graham]

[amazonsearch]Personal History[/amazonsearch]

 

I finally got around to reading this book and was very happy I did. 

 

I was a tremendously interesting history of the Meyer/Graham family and the story around the Washington Post.  I also thought it provided an interesting historical perspective of large events like the Vietnam War, Watergate, JFK's assassination, etc...

 

I would highly recommend it.

That's fantastic.  Thank you

compoundinglife,

 

I totally agree.  Just because we're on the discussion, I attached another one of my favorites.

Since the news is generally slow today and I'm sick of hearing about those people that supposedly work hard in a district out east I thought I would post one of my favorite speeches from Charlie Munger.  It's a great read on most any day, but certainly a day like today.

 

Happy New Year to everyone.

You're the best!  Thank you for pointing that out. Is it a good book?

Thanks for the recommendation of this book.  I really enjoyed it.  I was not aware of the story behind General Cinemas.  I always enjoy reading more about Singleton, Buffett & Malone. 

 

We need someone to write a book on Mr. Malone.
