I’m glad I read that book but I was slightly disappointed.

Signal and Noise by Nate Silver was more educational and enjoyable.

Fooled by Randomness was also good. Better than Black Swan IMO.

Just started Einstein’s Shadow by Seth Fletcher. Am enjoying it.

Adding other books that I’ve read in the past that I see mentioned and also loved:

Masters of Doom

Longitude

I liked Logitude so much I called myself h4labs when I released apps in the App Store, after Harrison’s H4 watch.
