Carol:
- "War and
Peace"
by Leo Tolstoy
Okay, it takes about a hundred pages to get into it, and you have to
keep a list of the characters and their nicknames to make heads or tails
of it, but it is SO worth it; also makes sense of Napoleon's invasion
of Russia, for those who like history. "Anna Karenina"
is almost as good.
- "Of Human
Bondage" by Somerset Maugham
In some way that I can't explain, this is the most complete story I've
ever read. It's about a young man trying to become a doctor in England
in the 1800s; very relationship oriented.
- "The Art
of Happiness" by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Howard C.
Cutler
Report of a series of conversations between the Dalai Lama and Cutler,
a very readable explanation of the views of this amazingly common-sensical
spiritual guide.
- "The Uses
of Enchantment - The Meaning and Importance of Fairy Tales"
by Bruno Bettelheim
Explains what's really going on in fairy tales, why the classics last
forever and are important.
- "Passionate
Marriage" by David Schnarch
In my opinion, the best book about marriage (and I've read 'em all),
why we choose whom we choose and the dynamic of the marriage relationship,
what it is we're really doing.
- "A Tree
Grows in Brooklyn"
by Betty Smith
I'm sure I read this hundreds of times as a child and adolescent. If
Francie Nolan isn't an INFJ, then none of us is, either.
- "Animal
Dreams" by Barbara Kingsolver
The best of her many excellent books, in my opinion. Hmm, how to describe
it ... it's about a young woman in the Southwest figuring out her life.
Sorry that's so vague; it's the best I can do. No doubt someone else
could improve on that.
