Yeah I read it. I read the first half like a hypnotized kid imitating a chicken.
The second half was kind of redundant and went slower. I recently read a review of the book in which the reviewer said Taleb's first book on much the same subject, was a lot better. The reviewer said he thought the publisher & Taleb were in a rush to capitalize on the 1st book's success. I definitely want to read his 1st book.
Not to say I didn't enjoy "Black Swan". I certainly did. I look forward to reading an even better version.
