今天在管理着超过250亿美元的麻省理工学院捐赠基金官网看到有个 Read 页面，里面列了一些他们最喜欢的非虚构作品。网页开头引用查理·芒格的名言：“我从未见过任何一个聪明的人不读书的，一个也没见过。”
然后他们又用投资中的概念“留存收益”（retained earnings）玩了个梗：We believe that a powerful way to improve MIT’s long-term returns is to build what we call “retained learnings”. Retained learnings are the lessons we have learned from the books we read, the investors we interact with, the mistakes we make, and our frequent debates on our travels while stuck in a taxi cab far from home.
下班时在地铁站经广告提醒才知道，明天（4月23日）是世界读书日，我记得去年这个时候还曾发过微博嘲讽这个节日，今年不妨就把 MIT投资团队推荐的书单给大家列一下，已经出过中文版的会在后面标注。
