Kirsten INFJ -- that's me! :)


message 2: by Amalie (new)

Amalie Anything by Fyodor Dostoyevsky


message 3: by Brittany (new)

Brittany I'm and INFJ as well and have read and enjoyed many of these. I'll have to check out the ones I haven't!


message 4: by Robyn (new)

Robyn I too am an INFJ and have really liked quite a few of these books. :)


message 5: by Janet (new)

Janet Excuse my ignorance but, could anyone tell me what an INFJ is?

It's one of the 16 Myers-Briggs personality types - generally considered to be the rarest type including only about 1% of the population. INFJ = Introvert, Intuitive, Feeling, Judging. INFJs are usually very bookish and like reads that they can get lost in...which is likely the purpose of this list.


message 7: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth They need to add The Mists of Avalon to the INFJ list.

message 9: by Jenniferwelch (new)

Jenniferwelch Not to sound confrontational, but being an INFJ Im really disappointed in this list! We read in order to ESCAPE our heads and into a great romance, thrilling adventure and so on. Yes I have read and enjoyed a few but most of these sound extremely depressing or overly intellectual.


message 10: by Chris (new)

Chris Gager I have no idea what INFJ means, but I had a boatload of hits on this list!

I just googled Meyers Briggs and took the quiz. I got INFP, -A/-T which is 4% of the population. I subscribed to their emails so I can learn more. I am the Mediator.

Maybe I should make a Listopia for INFP? I was very bored by The Hobbit so perhaps do not really fit on this list.


message 12: by Joni (new)

Joni Paranka I think this list is spot on for this INFJ! Anything on it that I've read, I love (with the exception of The 4 Agreements which I feel is inane). And apparently I had some great librarians in my younger years who guided me to the perfect books because most of my absolute favorite childhood books are on this list :)


message 13: by ~☆~Autumn (new)

~☆~Autumn POWER: Surviving and Thriving After Narcissistic Abuse: A Collection of Essays on Malignant Narcissism and Recovery from Emotional Abuse. I just read in this book that those with NPD really love to find an empath who is INFJ. The Narcissist can really torture this type! You might want to read this book!

Yes, they do.

Noctua > They need to add The Mists of Avalon to the INFJ list

Preach! (it's in page 2)

Also Jane Eyre is my favourite book so I'm happy that it's number 2 in the list.
