So I bailed out of Swan. I got about 150-200 pages in and it seemed like he was saying the same thing over and over again, as if it got more profound with re-telling.

I must have missed something. To me the premise seems like something you could communicate and grasp in like 5 minutes or so.



I find Black Swan and its ilk perfect audio-book material. Not important or complicated enough that I care if I miss some details in one pass, but with enough ideas in them to merit passive attention while doing something else requiring my eyesight.
