THANKS

importance of being earnest -oscar wilde

 

[EJCC]

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams

 

[Athenian200]

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams

You beat me to it.

I was thinking it sounded too cliche, but I guess it works.

The only other one that's coming to mind is "Brave New World - Aldous Huxley"

I guess we should let the actual NTs decide this, really.

I just read "Fabric of the Cosmos" by Brian Greene, if you're feeling science-y.
I'm also a big fan of HP Lovecraft for fiction. I can't think of any book that is quintessentially NT though.

 

[Strawberrylover]

The INTP I know LOVES LOVES LOVES Lolita.

Intense emotions wrapped in an intellectual package.

 

[The Decline]

The Sociological Imagination - C. Wright Mills

 

[Athenian200]

Oh, okay... one more. This one only applies if the NT is capable of appreciating fantasy-based themes, though.

"Till We have Faces - C.S. Lewis"

I can't explain exactly WHY an NT would appreciate it, I just think that they might.

Conversations with God - book 1 by Neal Donald Walsch

Hitchhiker's Guide is cute and all, but I'd go for something like Neil Strauss's The Game to put everything in perspective and all. NTs like perspective.

Sun Tzu The Art of War
Machievelli The Prince

DMT: the Spirit Molecule by Rick Strassman

Inner Paths to Outer Space By Rick Strassman, Slawek Wojtowicz, Luis Eduardo Luna, and Ede Frecska

The full facts book of cold Reading by Ian Rowlands

 

[The Decline]

DMT: the Spirit Molecule by Rick Strassman

You could easily skip this book and just read some trip reports and journal articles on the chemical.

Inspired by the above poster, every NT should play Deus Ex.
