I went through brs, goljan (3rd ed; i feel like this new ed. is better organized), and robbins. Despite the outline format, I think goljan may provide a better understanding of the pathophys. But it depends on what your preferences are and how you learn. I usually just read Robbins (some people think it's overkill), and then read goljan before an exam. I though BRS did not do a great job with heme/onc, compared to sections such as neuro. But that's just my opinion.
