- "From
Beginning to End--The Rituals of Our Lives"
by Robert Fulghum
Beautiful book. I know it's not valid to type people you've never even
met, but I'm convinced Fulghum is NF and I think he might be INFJ. His
earlier books were very entertaining and thought-provoking, but this
one is much more profound and full of N. He talks about the special
moments in life and death and how different people celebrate these moments
in very personal ways.
- "The
Little Prince"
by Antoine de Saint Exupery
I fell in love with this book from the first chapter. It's sweet and
simple and magical and complex all at the same time.
- "Seeing
Voices--A Journey into the World of the Deaf"
by Oliver Sacks
I haven't read this book in a long time, so I'm not sure whether to
trust my earlier judgment, but I used to love it. Sacks has an interesting
way of talking about how the mind works, and this book is an interesting
introduction into Deaf culture.
- "How
the Mind Works"
by Steven Pinker
I haven't read this whole book, but I've given it to people because
it's an accessible introduction into the fascinating study of the mind.
It's helpful that Pinker keeps in mind that we really know very little
about the mind while still presenting many interesting findings and
theories. Pinker is a very noted researcher at MIT and thus generally
knows what he's talking about. He is also very good at explaining how
people acquire languages and has written a book called "The
Language Instinct."
- "The
Stranger"
by Albert Camus
I remember being very impressed by the description in this novel, which
seemed very dreamy and real at the same time.
- "Diario
de una Bailarina"
by Gloria Contreras
This book is difficult to come by outside of Mexico, but I found it
at a university library in the US. Contreras is a choreographer who
has done so much for dance in Mexico and the world in general. This
book is a collection of letters she wrote while standing dance in New
York about 40 years ago. She is an amazing woman, and the letters share
many great thoughts and dreams.
