INTP discussion

Hi everyone. I know we INTPs are not exactly social people, and that's probably the reason this group is basically empty, but does anyone of you have recommendations of books perfectly made for INTPs? Or just books you absolutely love but no one around you who isn't an INTP understands?

I'll start: My favourite series is the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett, starting with The Colour of Magic. I'd recommend starting with Mort though, as the first few novels are still a bit bumpy.

Your turn, which books (fiction or non-fiction) are your favourite and thus made for INTPs?

Here are my 2 favorite books I've read this year.

Oh, cool. I've seen the first one quite a few times now, probably should finally put it on my list.

Do it! The authors of both books have also have several talks on YouTube that are interesting.

The books that I enjoyed most this year are

Mao's Great Famine by Frank Dikotter

Willful Ignorance by Herbert Weisberg

The Foundation Series by Isaac Asimov

and an old favorite by Michael Crichton - Jurassic Park of course? Great author!

I'm reading The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks right now, and it's so good, I highly recommend it. And I discovered Mary Roach as a new favourite author, too.

Thanks for updating this thread! I'll add these to my list.

My 2 favorite books so far this year:

WTF?: What's the Future and Why It's Up to Us by Tim O'Reilly

Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln by Doris Kearns Goodwin

A bit late to the party, but I really enjoyed The Essential David Bohm and am re-reading Harald Atmanspacher’s The Jung-Pauli Conjecture.

I think I just like reading collected essays on various topics!

One other book that hasn’t really left my conscious mind is just that, The Conscious Mind by David Chalmers. These all get into the nooks and crannies of the thinking mind, so they are excellent when coupled with a thinking function.

For anyone who reads German, I have two more absolute favourites of this/last year: "Ausgestorben um zu bleiben" by Bernard Hegel (it's about dinosaurs and their offspring, birds, which leaves me saying "Hello little dinosaur" to ever bird I encounter) and "Die Reise unserer Gene" by Johannes Krause and Thomas Trappe. It's about the journey our ancestors took from Africa out into the whole world. It's fascinating to see for example how much Neanderthal genetics the Australian aborigines still own.
