Charlie Munger flashback of the day.... At the 2015 Daily Journal Annual Meeting, Munger was asked a question relating to how he reads. His response:

"I've never taken notes. I never kept notes when I was a student. I just read what I please when I feel like reading it, and I think what I think when I feel like thinking it. And that's my system. I don't think it's the right system for everybody, but it seems to have worked well enough for me to enable me to get by."
