Most everyone who invests beyond broad market funds is aware of the 20th century classics of stock investing. Buffett's sly opining is probably the most famous out there since he seems to have a memorable quote for all scenarios. Regardless of personal wealth or business acumen, who else who is still alive has a good writing style when they write about investing? It's such a dry topic down deep at its core that I've found it's pretty rare to encounter good writing (stylistically at least, I know plenty of people can offer defensible quantitative analysis). And the writing we are given publicly is all kind of the same rehash or written by the same people whose names you can count on one hand. You can only read something quippy Peter Lynch wrote in the 90s so many times, you know?
Not necessarily asking for books here but who just has really unique or memorable investing prose you don't see mentioned often? Do we even have people like that now?
