Great quote. Black Swan happens to be one of my unread books. You've propted me to pick it back up.

More generally, I feel there's no reason to buy books before I need to read them. Effectively Amazon has become my library. Need a book - $10 and you can pull it off the shelf and into your Kindle.

This saves my back when moving too. I have about 650 books in my Kindle library. 90% read in entirety. Moving those would suck!

Edit - fixed an autocorrect misfire
