I just finished reading "Never Eat Alone", by Keith Ferrazzi, and "Blink" by Malcolm Gladwell. Both were a quick read and enjoyable.
"Never Eat Alone" is classified as a business book; However, it's really about the benefits and practice of maintaining one's social network -- both for business success and personal life enjoyment. Definitely recommended.
"Blink" is a little harder to pin down. It's obviously written by someone very enthusiastic about how psychological and sociological factors affect our initial reactions to products, people, and situations; However, it does float around a bit on the topic and doesn't seem to reach any conclusions through it all. (Not that that's necessarily a bad thing.) It also devotes a fair amount of coverage to the concept of "thin slicing", which is the ability to predict things like personality based on a very thin sampling of behavior. Some of the research findings on thin slicing were quite interesting, and overall I definitely enjoyed it; However, if you don't share an interest in psychology, you might pass on this one.
I got through Blink a little too fast, so I had to go book shopping again. Fortunately, I made a stop in Boston right when I needed a book, which made it easy to find "Democratizing Innovation", by Eric von Hippel. I looked for this book in Austin a couple months ago with no luck; However, being published by The MIT Press makes it an easy find in Boston. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a little different then I was hoping for, so you might want to preview a bit of it using the free PDF version online before deciding to purchase. It's not bad -- it's just not what I wanted.
I also had "Thoughtless Acts? Observations on Intuitive Design", by Jane Fulton Suri on my list, but unfortunately, it turned out to be a small picture book. Interesting, but again, not really what I wanted. Instead, I now have "In Search of Stupidity: Over 20 Years of High-Tech Marketing Disasters" by Merrill R. Chapman next in the queue. A friend let me borrow this one, and I'll be diving in once I wrap up Democratizing Innovation.
