Black Swan re-visited

Few days ago, I mentioned about reading Nassim Taleb 's Black Swan. I began with the hope that it would be exciting. While it was worth reading once, I was hoping for a bit more. The 400 pages were a bit too long for the thesis of the book. For someone who has grown up with some exposure to oriental philosophy the importance of "luck" in life and the fact that one cannot predict future based on past are moot. To refresh the importance of luck in life (assuming it encopasses business life) I would rather watch Woody Allen's Crimes and Misdemeanors and Match Point.
