Fortune.com has posted excerpts from "The Smartest Guys in the Room: The Amazing Rise And Scandalous Fall Of Enron." They're interesting, revealing and disturbing, including this one:

"To many who knew him well, Enron chief financial officer Andrew Fastow seemed an incredibly insecure man. There were many people at Enron who kissed up to (Jeff) Skilling, but few did it as overtly as Fastow. ... Fastow named his first son Jeffrey; after the birth, as Fastow was passing out cigars in the office, he had to fend off jibes accusing him of being a 'suck-ass' for naming his son after his boss. According to one former managing director, Fastow replied, 'Hey, who's done more for me other than my mom and dad?'"
