The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life

[Longhorn Review] The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life

Material Type: All, books — Posted on April 16, 2010, 8:17 am

By: Schroeder, Alice

It is apparent that the DAD owns shares in Berkshire Hathaway. I would suggest
that the reviewer attend the meetings with DAD. I would suggest that the reviewer
listen carefully during the 7 hours. I would suggest that the reviewer study the
owner's manual. I would suggest the reviewer highlight the owner's manual. I would
suggest that the reviewer prepare like they would teach from the owner's manual. I
would suggest that the reviewer obtain Alice Shroeder's detailed analysis from
Berkshire Hathaway "Float Based Method". I would suggest that the reviewer read "The
Making of an American Captitalist" by Lowenstein. I would suggest that the reviewer
bond with the DAD. I would suggest that the reviewer learn daily from the DAD. The
DAD is a "wonderful and most relevant" DAD. I have owned Berkshire Hathaway shares
since 1983. I have NEVER sold a shares since 2000. My better half and I attend the
annual meeting and HAVE TOO MUCH FUN TO HARDLY EXPLAIN IN THIS SHORT REVIEW. I would
suggest that I wish your DAD was my DAD. Suggest to your DAD to make his way to
Gorat's at 5 PM on Friday, April 30, 2010 via Ms Lori's section. It would be FUN to
meet DAD.

The Lost Books of the Odyssey

[Longhorn Review] The Lost Books of the Odyssey

Material Type: All, books — Tags: classical fiction — Posted on March 29, 2010, 10:45 am

By: Mason, Zachary

The Odyssey refracted through the broken mirror of modern consciousness. Zachary
Mason has drunk from the well of Calvino and Borges and gives us a poignant and
compelling rendition of the wily Odysseus' wanderings and companions. The text is
like the shell of a hermit crab - an adopted mobile shelter, a bricolage that winds
back on itself, with the sudden stirring of life from within.

When giants walked the Earth: a biography of Led Zeppelin / Mick Wall.

[Longhorn Review] When giants walked the Earth: a biography of Led Zeppelin / Mick Wall.

Material Type: All, books — Tags: music biography — Posted on February 11, 2010, 4:29 pm

By: Wall, Mick.

This is a unique biography. The author Mick Wall weaves in cool fictional
monologues by his main characters to great effect...the tone is sometimes nostalgic,
although more often quite bitter...while I could not begin to say how accurately the
author portrays the complexities of each member's personality, one does get a sense
of the general temperament of these largely mythologized figures. Moreover, the
narratives provide both an informative history lesson on the life and music of this
phenomenal band, and a quite humanizing account of the music industry in 1960's and
70's.

Machine head sound recording / Deep Purple.

[Longhorn Review] Machine head sound recording / Deep Purple.

Material Type: All, books — Tags: Music — Posted on February 11, 2010, 3:13 pm

By: Deep Purple

"Machine Head" is not merely an influential and genre-defining moment in hard
rock...it is a collection of sincerely hot funshine dashed off by one supremely
talented ensemble...and the production is timeless...and yes, Ritchie Blackmore
still rules....
