Title: Save Your Money
Product review: The title of this book is a bit misleading. A better title might have been: "Fooled by Randomness: How Foolish Other People are and How Much More Worldly and Clever I am Than They (With Emphasis on My Fondness for Parenthetical Exposition)"Reading various recommendations of the book elsewhere, I had the sense that this was a popular book about randomness. Having read half of this book thus far, it appears to be nothing more than a narcissistic, meandering stroll through anecdotes relating to randomness, with heavy emphasis on how *totally kewl* the author is compared to various bond traders, mathematicians and dentists.There is certainly insightful information to be gleaned from this text, but...WOW, is it painful to do so.If you are a fan of Mr. Taleb, this might be the book for you. If you are looking for an accessible book about randomness and statistics, it might be better to utilize the "other people bought..." links.
