Most Important Book of 2009?

It is almost the end of the year, which means it is time for lists. One list I would like to see is ‘the most important book(s) for testers or people who care about quality that were released in 2009’. Now, the best way to guarantee that something happens is to do it yourself, and normally I would, but I busy getting my book out the door to read much.

So I’m going to crowd-source the list.

To get things started I suspect that Hugh MacLeod’s Ignore Everybody would have been my contribution to the list, but I haven’t actually read it; just the blog posts he wrote that led up to and during its creation. That doesn’t count then. The one I did read and will put on the list is Bridging the Communications Gap by Gojko Adzic.

What book came out in the last year that, for you, was the most important book about testing and/or quality? You can respond in the comments, or on twitter with #mostimportantbook. I’ll compile the results early January and we’ll see how things turn out.
