the one he hands to kids first. physics without the algebra

barely 100 pages, no excuse not to read it

The Sovereign Individual - James Dale Davidson and Lord William Rees-Mogg

he's on record saying it's the best book since Sapiens (sourced)

Poor Charlie's Almanack

worth its own list, honestly, see the one I did on Munger's own picks
