I read Too Big To Fail by Andrew Sorkin. (Good book.) In it, there’s a part where AIG tries to sell one of it’s subs to Buffett. They call him on Friday evening, and he says they should send him the info to review. They ask him for an e-mail address, and he laughs and says he doesn’t have a computer at home. They ask for a fax number and he laughs and says he doesn’t have a fax machine at home either. He ends up agreeing to get back in the truck, drive to the office and pick up the fax there.

He is a different kind of CEO.

What was your overall impression of Sorkin’s book? That’s been on my list of things to read.

I also really want to pick up Michael Lewis’ new book on the short sellers. I heard him interviewed and it sounded really interesting.
