Philip K. Dick appeals to the NTs I know.

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (Bladerunner was based on this book).

*jumping up and down like a little kid*

Several of these I have already read and since you guys pointed them out, I know that I'm on to something because those were awesome.

I'm a sociology major so Mills was dead on and my favorite number has been 42 since long before the movie. I have read The Art of War too.

I love the Tao Te Ching because it's so simplistic yet powerful and you can go as far down the rabbit hole as you want. I have also been meaning to read The Glass Bead Game but I keep losing the book :shock: I also wanted to read The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand but after reading the synopsis I thought it was too "anti-liberal-sociologist" to read while I'm in school. I already cause enough chaos by taking the social Darwinist stance on education. This tickles my physics professor to no end b/c there is a strange rivalry between the science department and the social working department (???)... tangent :doh:

Edited to say THANK YOU (it's not as noticeable below the signature and I really do appreciate the input!)

I thought it was kind of funny actually. I have that family-first, but I can't get through the first chapter. It's just to sterile, like a white fully padded room.

*blinks*

Here's a little background information... I live in Denton, TX. We have two universities; Texas Woman's University and The University of North Texas. UNT was once the "boys school" and is known for frat parties and 4th tier football. Their student body is larger (34k?) but that's all they have in the way of dominance. My neighbor, who received a B.S. from UNT in December, asked me "Which ocean is between us and England?" a few days ago. Dr. Phil is a UNT graduate. I'm a senior sociology major at TWU (known for our 85% female population, lack of sports and focus on academics). Why would I take social advice from a washed up MD? Let alone someone from the rival college.

I do hope this is a joke because it made me want to kick something and/or be sick. The only thing positive about those two is that Oprah is always trying to become a better person (at least that was my impression from the few shows I've caught... the difference between the early 90's and the 00's is promising but I haven't watched TV in 2 1/2 years). If a book says "Oprah's Book Club" that tells me that it's as complex as the housewives who obey whatever "the Oprah" says.

:blush: Maybe that book on being nice would be a good idea...

Oh, come on. You actually think I think that Dr. Phil knows what he's saying/doing? It's a bunch of rubbish, and I made the rest of those books up. It's a complete joke.

Kind of like in Hancock with Will Smith when he learns to say 'Good Job.'
