Pre-recession books still relevant?

I checked out a few books from the GS suggested reading list referenced in other posts.

Most of the books are pre-2008. I was wondering if these books are still relevant after all the regulation and moderation implemented after the recession.

What, like Harry Potter? Or books saying 10x leverage is fine and synthetic CDOs are awesome? Or books outlining fundamental credit analysis?
