What I read in February
February was evenly split between nonfiction and fiction. I like that, and I think I should keep it that way.
- The Scoreless Thai – Lawrence Block
- The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable – Nassim Nicholas Taleb
- Pontoon: A Novel of Lake Wobegon – Garrison Keillor
- How Doctors Think – Jerome Groopman
- DMZ: Public Works – Brian Wood
Of these, The Black Swan and How Doctors Think should be read one after another. They are talking about the same thing in different ways and deal with failures in how we (and our doctors and money managers) think. I found them both fascinating.
