Here is my review of Taleb's The Black Swan: The Always Unexpected in 'The Black Swan'.
Epistemological works tend to be classified among the drier forms of discourse, but Taleb writes about the problems of knowing in a way that is not only lively, but downright sassy. If nothing else, his book will make you more aware of how many people -- pundits and politicians especially -- are given to inflating the little they think they know into giant balloons of prophecy.
