What are your favorite books on Enneagram? I'll collect a list through this thread and then add a poll.
Here are some starters (ones that I have):
Character and Neurosis - An Integrative View - Claudio Naranjo
The Wisdom of the Enneagram - Riso and Hudson
The Enneagram - Helen Palmer
Three Keys of Self Understanding (Enneagram is only part of it)
The 27 Tritypes Revealed - Katherine Chernick Fauvre
Enneagram Instinctual Subtypes - Katherine Chernick Fauvre
The Spiritual Dimension of the Enneagram - Sandra Maitri
Facets of Unity - AH Almaas
Archetypes of the Enneagram - Susan Rhodes
i've been meaning to get the bolded one, [MENTION=5639]JocktheMotie[/MENTION] recommended it to me
partly because i'm always swaying between if i'm a 7w8 or 8w7 and questioning
my own type.
i think the riso-hudson and the palmer books are a good introduction to the
enneagram, easy to read, easy to understand, but i've found that it's not the
best source that gets me the answers or provides the depth of exploration i want?
i have more of the 'mainstream' popular books, due to being overseas, so it's harder
to find the more lesser-known/marketed books, but i've basically bought everything
i've found.

Nine Lenses on the World: the Enneagram Perspective by Jerome Peter Wagner*
[MENTION=195]Jaguar[/MENTION] recommended the really lovely book entitled
nine lenses on the world
by jerome wagner -- which when i read, i'll find myself on the fence
between 7 (the joyful person) and 8 (the powerful person).
i've told jock that i feel as though, depending on the book my type changes.
with the riso-hudson and palmer books, i will type myself as an 8 and not
even consider being 7 at all. i was telling him that i wished the enneagram
came in shoe sizes. omni 7.5 would fit perfectly. no wings. just right in between.
