Black Swan could have been a pretty good book at 15% of it's current size. I got tired of being told the same thing in at least 5-6 different ways every time and never finished it.

Could not tolerate. I read hundreds of nonfiction books, and this is one of the few I could not get through.

I found it worth the struggle in the end. One of the most influential books in my life, I’d probably put it as #3.
