A question: I want to read those books. Which one should I start first?



The Drunkard's Walk was the better of the two in my view. I'd start there and follow up with Taleb's book if you want to read more.

However, if you're really into Wall Street trading, flip the order.


Fooled By Randomness leads nicely into the Black Swan, Taleb's even better follow up book.
