I've never read Black Swan. I found Antifragile hugely thought-provoking. Knowing both, would you imagine I had anything to gain from also reading Black Swan, or do you really think they basically cover the same ground?

I read both, and Fooled By Randomness. I would say you stand to gain a lot reading about the older ones as well.

There is a lot of overlap in the Venn Diagram between the two. I would say read the first 80-100 pages of Black Swan and decide if you would like to complete the book.
