Books & Movies I’ve read or watched

• Swiss Account (1992), by Paul Erdman.  WW II spy thriller, not about accounting.  Why did I read this?
• Zero Coupon (1993), by Paul Erdman, so-so novel, ex-con investment banker CEO, glorifies committing fraud.  18 years ago this might have been good.
• Up in the Air, (2009), film starring George Clooney & Vera Farmiga.  Marketed as film about biz travel.  I wouldn’t watch it again if it was a free rental.
• Shell Games (2010), by Sara McIntosh, pretty good novel about fraud auditor.  You owe it to yourself to read this one.
• Naked Option (2007), by Joe Kolman, ok novel about options trader turned fraud investigator.  Good for a read when nothing good is available to rent at RedBox.
• The Informant! (2009), film starring Matt Damon.  Ignore this one like the plague.  A comedy about exec’s mental illness?  Give me a break.
