First thing that came to mind when I read this was the quote attributed to Haruki Murakami "If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking." Turns out this is a quote from a character in one of Murakami's novels, but sentiment stands. Kind of gets to the essence of what "creativity" may be.
