Literacy and 2 book recommendations!

Well summer is in full swing, which means it is time for my first annual creativity and innovation book recommendations… But first a statistic… in the spirit of reading…

1) What is the literacy rate is the US currently? 75%, 100%, 84%, 99% or 87%?

check out the answer and other US statistics at the world factbook by the CIA…here.

And now onto my first book recommendation! One of my all-time favorite creativity books (and if you don’t own it, you may want to splurge and buy it!) is Orbiting the Giant Hairball by Gordon McKenzie. This is the perfect summer creativity book. Funny, practical and inspiring. Have you read it? What do you think.? ..Click the pic to read more about it!

My second recommendation is a book that will be out in a few months, but I wanted to give you the heads up! My colleague, Tim Hurson, from thinkx is finishing up a great book entitled… Think Better, an Innovator’s Guide to Productive Thinking. It’s full of inspiring stories and practical tips and tools for enhancing thinking… I recommend it!

Now a request: what are your favorite all-time creative thinking books, books that have inspired you? Please share your favorites by posting a response! thanks….
