Financial Risk Management: A Practitioner's Guide to Managing Market and Credit Risk 2nd Edition

I'm reading this text as part of a Master of Finance class on Risk Management. This has to be one of the most readable books I have come across. I find myself chuckling at the occasional gems of humour interlaced throughout the text. It seems to be aimed more towards the industry professional, rather than students. Perhaps that is why I feel less like I am reading a textbook, and more like I am reading something I might buy for my personal collection. If you like jokes about using AAA corporate bonds to estimate the volatility of illiquid sub-prime, AAA rated CDOs, you will love this book. Highly recommended.
