Review of The Bed of Procrustes: Philosophical and Practical Aphorisms by Nassim Nicholas Taleb *****

This book is better than the translation of Proverbs. Holy smokes! This one could be canon!

Review of The Black Swan (audio book) by Nassim Nicholas Taleb *****

The take home message is that the world is run by freak events, and that certain environments are better for creating extreme events. The paradox of this book is that because the idea of a black swan would be an event, it has resemblance to the idea that this book could have become a black swan itself. I would bet that this one becomes a classic.
