'The Black Swan' was mentioned this AM on the radio in NY and I ordered a copy. <http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=si3_rdr_bb_author?index=books&field%2dauthor%2d exact=Nassim%20Nicholas%20Taleb> Nassim Taleb seems like a prolific writher and fascinating guy. The other author mentioned on the segment was Dan Ariely, author of "Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces that Shape our Decisions" maybe worth looking at too.
