What to read for a continuing tester?

After I was done with Unethical, I ended up picking up a book by Jim Kaufman called Creative Gene.

I started to read it, and quickly learned that he also wrote the Harvard / McKinsey study I had seen a couple of months before.

Some of what I read in the book seemed familiar to me.

He and Kaufman seemed to make a strong case for writing a memo a week, rather than a book a year.

I like the idea of getting books out for review without a huge wait.

I have enough trouble picking what to read as it is.

I don't need any extra distractions!

The book ended up just being a discussion on creativity and creativity tests.

I think it was written by someone who was hired to write the book.

And even though it was an interesting read, the writing was not very good.

I ended up just skimming through some of the pages.

I probably should have just read something else.

Kaufman spends a lot of time defining what creativity is, and all the different elements involved.
