What book that you often see recommeded on this sub (or others) did not do it for you ?
It can be because of many reasons (too technical, not enough, too pretentious, too boring, too outdated and so on) and, to be clear, it **does not mean that the book bad** is. Might work for others
Ideally, suggest a book you WOULD recommend (and that **you rarely see here**)
Personnaly, I could not relate with the **Little Book that Beats the Market**. I could not relate to the tone and examples used, and thought it was limited in terms of actual information. It is short, yet it is long for the actual concrete information you get.
For someone who wants a quick, not too technical reads it still can be valuable but that is not what I was looking for.
I don't have a book to suggest that really has not been mentioned here couple of time.
Maybe the one that I have not seen mentioned here too often is **Pat Dorsey's The Five Rules of Successful Stock Investing**. A very complete book. The valuation part is thorough but did not do it for me - but I just have not yet found a book that I trully enjoy about valuation as it is either too focused in giving specific methods but neglecting certain industries' specifics, or not focused enough and is just concretely hardly applicable.
I also downloaded a sample of **the Fairfax Way** and find it until know quite good. Cannot comment more as I only read a part of first chapter though. Might be worth for some to have a look if you are interested in their history or Prem Watsa's value investing mindset.
