The Black Swan is an expansion of the ideas first posited in this volume. Good. 14. Fooled by Randomness ... boyhood in Amioun, Lebanon again. He brings it up constantly, and it has nothing to do with his premise. Read his book Fooled by Randomness instead.

Gad, I'm half way through The Black Swan and it's as bad as Fooled by Randomness was good. At this point, finishing it is going to be like removing a band-aid. Do I read as fast as possible, pulling it off in one painful motion, or do I pick at it nervously for the next few days drawing out ... ... ia

Taleb has been a long time trader on Wall Street and uses his experience ... ... surveyor. Very different from the Inspector Wallander series. I've all but finished Nassim Nicholas Taleb's first book Fooled by Randomness which I've enjoyed - though not as much as The Black Swan lot's of disturbing but lucid thoughts on the misuse of probability and economics. I'm now ... Ignore this thread - I got the date wrong (it was Friday 13th after all). ... rather than a trilogy so perhaps needed a little more editing.
