My English teacher gave me a choice of books to read. The list is this In Cold Blood, Catch-22, A Farewell to Arms, A Prayer for Owen Meany, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Boy's Life, The Shipping News, The Joy Luck Club/The Kitchen God's Wife, and Slaughterhouse Five.
From this list, have you read any of them? What were your thoughts? Any strong recommendations?
Aside from this, what was the most impactful, and influential book to you and your life and why? Do you think being an INFJ strongly influenced this?
I'll start. The most influential book for me was The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoevsky. My unconventional English teacher had us read it and I related strongly with one of the main characters, Alyosha. It was the first book that I'd ever read that analyzed the character's actions, thought processes, and feelings in an in depth manner that I feel I try to find in others each day. In a way, it allowed me to further realize the inner, hidden motives lying within even the most seemingly whimsical people. Therefore, certainly my choice was strongly influenced by my personality as an INFJ. Your turn! Thanks!
