The Black Swan...

I recommend the, The Black Swan to every blogger or armchair commentator like myself. It is a book about uncertainty. I recommend part one which deals with causality. Since I no longer keep books, once I am done you can have my copy. Though it is a bit dense the train of thought is not difficult to follow. I am tending towards four stars for the Black Swan. I also read Blink recently too, it was full of great insight, I must say I was a bit disappointed, I guess I had heard too many good things about this book. It is a book about intuition. Thinking, perception and stuff. I learned a bit from it, like handling 'noise', that is, information that clouds judgement. 3 stars from me. This is my second Gladwell book, and I think the first was better. I am nowhere near my 12 books for 2007 target, but my last minute push to catch up is paying off.
Here is a neat list here in the
