The Thicker The Better

One of my recent passions are thick graduate finance books. I've always liked sucking my teeth into academic books and thick piles of papers but lately it has become a passion. McMillan's thousand pages about Options Strategy is currently my favorite but might be knocked down by my recent purchase: Financial Accounting by Stickney and Weil - an MBA Wharton classic.

I read accounting in college but I've gotten an increased interest in how to in detail analyze financial statements. I think it was triggered by the book about Enron: The Smartest Guys in The Room. It's sad how they could get so greedy that they cooked the books. Even worse that they might get away with it.
