on the bookshelves of the digerati
KURT ANDERSEN
author, Turn of the Century.
Home Town by Tracy Kidder. "This book goes into exquisite detail about what constitutes a community in the old-fashioned, predigital sense. A community demands a mutual responsibility for civility and making things work in all kinds of unglamorous day-to-day encounters. Even at the hyperspeed of the Net, a true community takes time to build. This book gives you more of a sense of everybody's interior lives and daily routines than real life ever does or can. It made me feel as if I wasn't a big enough part of my community and had been too involved in my own private obsessions."
JEFF SEELY
president and CEO, Netstock Direct.
The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham. "This book has been around for 25 years, and I've picked it back up to take another look at the classic investment philosophies. We read about online trading and about investing and financing as the new American pastime. We've been sitting in a very extended bull market for investors, and what's interesting is that people feel they are sort of infallible, but if you go back to Graham, you realize that these things move in cycles and you need to prepare not for 200-points-down days, but 2,000-points-down months. In my own investing, I have taken my portfolio and diversified it so no single stock has that big of an impact."
