i'm really enjoying the black swan,haven't quite finished it yet but its given me a lot to think about.

i can certainly see why his style would rub some people up the wrong way,but i think he gets away with it since his subject matter is very interesting and a lot of his examples and references are fascinating. almost every page has something that made me stop and think,and i keep coming across points that i wish myself and my friends had read since they would have been relevant to conversations and arguments we've had in the past.

this is the first book i've read on this sort of thing so maybe other people who are better versed in maths and philosophy would be less impressed,but i think regardless of your background there is a huge amount of stuff in the book that is well worth thinking about.
