Reference book for functional analysis.

How does Rudin's Functional analysis compare with Reed and Simon's functional analysis. I am a beginner looking for a rigorous and broad text(for self study) and have narrowed it down to these two books. Can I get some insight into the advantages and disadvantages of these two books when compared with each other.

    I am a big fan of Rudin's Real & Complex Analysis, but personally wouldn't recommend using Rudin's Functional Analysis as your main text, since he starts from TVS, which is too abstract. I would recommend a book that starts with Hilbert spaces and builds up from there.

    If you are also interested in differential equations you could take a look at 'Functional analysisis, Sobolev Space and partial differential equations' by H. Brezis.

    for an introductory textbook take a look at the book of Ovchinnikov. For a deeper lecture I would choose the book of Brezis.

    Rudin wants to show you how clever he is. Reed and Simon try expose you to standard techniques and advanced material.
