Holiday Reading

We get all kinds of visitors, from top experts in the field to neophytes looking for information, but I thought there was something for everyone on two recommended reading lists from Underbelly. I don't think I'm blowing his cover to note that Underbelly is written by Jack Ayer, a former bankruptcy judge turned law prof. At what was undoubtedly the pinnacle of his career, Ayer was even a Credit Slips guest blogger.

The first is a list of books he recommends to his students as general background reading in finance. The second list is background reading for his bankruptcy class. The original post linking to these two lists explains them both. If visitors have other reading recommendations related to bankruptcy and credit, please feel welcome to leave them in the comments.

For what it's worth, I find Underbelly to be one of the wittiest blogs around, including this post which still has me laughing. The pie chart has been been reported elsewhere, but leave it to Underbelly to put it in the right context.
