A lot of the Jung/Myers-Briggs personality stuff (recent tests put me in INFJ/INFP land, and INFJ resonates just a little bit more). So yeah a few of the Paul D. Tieger / Barbara Barron-Tieger books: Just Your Type, Nurture by Nature, etc.

Will probably start Harry Potter 6 tomorrow afternoon.

Got yet another gnostic scriptures book over the weekend, so all of that's still in the queue along with the Orscon Scott Card novel.


i rock the infp as well - pretty rare for men to have that one, oh well.

I haven't been reading all that much lately to be honest except my friend gave me the David Foster Wallace book on infinity.


My mom used to do this shit for a living...like test companies and stuff, and people who were perplexed at their station in life. IIRC I am ENTP...but I could be wrong...somewhere amongst the detritus that is my personal affairs I hav ethe whole goddamn packet.

Great way to piss mom off in HS: "Oh cut out that psychobabble CRAP"

Ha! I'm sure she loved that! Truth is everyone to some degree is the whole thing; it's more of a question of what comes naturally. Your recollection seems like a decent fit, though.

the periodic table by primo levi


Haven't read that particular book but I have read 'If Not Now, When?' by the same author.

Not especially deep but the story rattled along and it was very readable. I'd definately read some of his other novels.

I'm currently reading Cormac McCarthy's "All the Pretty Horses."


there's an article on him in the latest new yorker...it's online and i don't think you have to register to read it.


Thanks. I may just be slow, but I can't seem to find this on the New Yorker website. Probably best that I do some work anyway.
