The Black Swan – Nassim Nicholas Taleb

This is supposed to be some all fired amazing book about randomness. The title is derived from the idea that Europeans thought all swans were black until they visited Australia and suddenly found a black swan. They had no way of knowing that what they thought was true was untrue until confronted by the evidence.

@curtismchale An interesting book, but could have been 60% shorter without missing any valuable information - in my humble opinion.

@eobeara Probably. I couldn't get through all the useless information to know for sure.
