As you can see, I am particularly drawn to founder biographies or autobiographies; Munger once said “I am a biography nut. And I think when you’re trying to teach the great concepts that work, it helps to tie them into the lives and personalities of the people who developed them. I think you learn economics better if you make Adam Smith your friend.”
