[Mas-Collel](https://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/com/0195073401) is very popular. It is very math-heavy. Every idea and concept is done pretty rigorously and it pretty well covers everything. The book is a very slow read and is sometimes uneven. Very detailed in some sections and not as good in others. That said, in my experience, it is the **graduate microeconomics** bible. If you have a question, your answer is somewhere in there.

There is also

Felix Muñoz-Garcia: advanced microeconomic theory
(this comes with a book of solved practice questions)

and

Silberberg: The structure of economics
(old but written so well where much the needed math is explained along with the economics)

For consumer choice - no firm theory - the book by

Deaton and Muellbauer: Economics and consumer behavior

is also a really nice book.
