Review of 'The Black Swan' on 'Goodreads'

Very glad I picked this up. It changed my perspective on randomness, the great importance of it, and how difficult it is to deal with in daily life. I'm also glad I liked the precocious style, because it makes learning way more fun. I like the many returns to ideas presented earlier as well, which help solidify my wobbly memory.
