Have anyone here read any of Nassim Taleb's books and any comments?

I've read The Black Swan, I kind of like the idea he is trying to convey but I didn't like his writing style and how he thinks he is the smartest guy in the industry and everyone else is dumb.

Might seem bizarre, but right now I'm reading Death (The Art of Living) by Todd May. It's pretty short, I got through half of it in a couple of evenings. It's also fairly accessible as far as philosophy books go (I haven't read much because they used to be hard to understand). I quite like it, gives me some new perspectives on life and, well, death. Not the most pleasant of topics, but it's better to consider it once in a while rather than trying to block it out.

I'm close to finishing "How to win friends and influence people". It's not as in depth as I had hoped, just some basic tips and tricks with anecdotes how they helped some people achieve their goals. I think after this one I'll need to read some fiction.

So I noticed that Humble Bundle has a book bundle about Makers. I'd like to get into the whole DIY making movement and I'm thinking of buying this bundle. Do you guys have any thoughts about this? I know this probably isn't the best place to ask but whatever Y'all are cool
