Insightful author interviews
Saturday 9 PM, Sunday 6 PM and 9 PM, Monday 12 AM ET
Nassim Taleb argues that people are too focused on what they already understand and reluctant to engage in what they don't know. In his book, The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable, Mr. Taleb explores improbable events that have had a great affect on the world. From 9/11 to the creation and success of Google, the author contends that these "black swans" challenge our concept of randomness and the unknown. Nassim Taleb is interviewed by David Brooks, columnist for The New York Times.

6. I'm looking forward to seeing Glenn Greenwald Sunday

I'm in the middle of reading "A Tragic Legacy: How a Good vs. Evil Mentality Destroyed the Bush Presidency", after just having finished "How Would a Patriot Act". Both of these books come highly recommended. Greenwald's blog ranks with Chris Floyd and Arthur Silber in my opinion.
