Munger is credited for Berkshire's first major tech investment in BYD. I think, unlike Buffett, Munger unabashedly displays his intellect. It turns a few people off, but if you can get past the brashness, there's much to learn from his approach to thinking.
I also recommend the two books (Seeking Wisdom & Poor Charlie's Almanack). The first is not only about Munger (and Buffett), but about other great thinkers like Darwin, Feynman, Einstein, Mark Twain.
I also definitely recommend watching some of the few videos available of him online:
His talk at CalTech (2008) (requires RealPlayer) 106 min.

His USC Law School Speech (2007)

Both are relatively recent, and not in his books.
