The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable by Nassim Nicholas Taleb.
 
I liked the book enough that I bought my own copy recently. I read Taleb’s earlier book, Fooled by Randomness, a few weeks ago. I’m finding that The Black Swan makes more sense now. There a handful of places where Taleb refers back to Fooled by Randomness in The Black Swan, but without actually telling you he’s referring back.

The Final Theory by Mark Alpert. This book aspires to mediocrity, and falls short.
