The Bed of Procrustes: Philosophical and Practical Aphorisms - Nassim Nicholas Taleb How to rate a book with no narrative? Will likely come back to this occasionally, so I "liked it". Only some of the aphorisms are solidly vivid, and I think I'd have been better off reading "fooled by randomness". Oh well, consider this a second recommendation for "The Black Swan".
