I bought a copy here in Cape Town, and am enjoying making my way through it while on the beach (I am still a geek). Feeling it's a bit heavy on anecdotes and light on "facts" so far, but still 200 pages to go...

Happy new year!

It's not really a business book. And besides, facts are overrated. :)

Sold! I'm growing weary of repeatedly citing a work I've never read. Was this post just a friendly hint? The offer of an analytic breath mint?

"The turkey's risk management department" priceless! ;-)

I started with "Fooled by Randomness" but haven't been able to finish it yet. Look forward to getting to this one after I finish that one.
