I'm INTP and I've read everything by Assimov. A bonus you get with him is because some was written in the 50's it not just tells you what he thinks the future might be, but tells on his own time in what societal givens he brings to the future. Men aren't metrosexuals, women aren't woke and although in some books like The Naked Sun people have become very isolated, introverts it still points out differences from the norm of then from the future time they live in.
Sci Fi is my favourite genre as well! I was looking for interesting suggestions in all of the types hahaha. Nothing like combining all imaginative possibilities and philosophical explanations for our spirits!
I'm an INTP and I've had The Three Body Problem on my kindle for so long. You've just convinced me to start it! I'd also like to recommend The Expanse series for INTPs. The authors did a lot of research to make sure the science is accurate.
omg Expanse is on my PP(Possibility Pile) because I really love the concept of it and my coworkers keeps talking about it! He is also pressuring me to read the prequels to the foundation hehe
Interesting i will be sure to check out 1Q84. This INFP favourite SF to date, a series of 4 books actually, Gene Wolfe "Book of the New Sun" which does indeed have strong characters and relationships as well as an unreliable narrator and a wonderfully archaic (think Tolkien) use of language. Set hundreds of thousands of years in the future on a dying earth in a Republic based as much on 'magic' as 'science' its the autobiography of the last Emperor of Urth and how he accidentally rose from the humblest beginnings to total power. Highly recommended!
This topic (and potentially your channel) seemed interesting enough for me to take the test - I'm a INFP not too surprisingly, but they figure that aligns me with Tolkien, which...sure I'll take that :). I'll keep an eye out for 1Q84, but my Sci-fi forays are occasional ATM - I'd love it if you do one of these for Fantasy, Horror or even Classic Literature.
The great thing about 1Q84 is that it is more like classic literature than scifi. It takes place in 1984 Japan and has the more slow, meandering plot of an older book that focuses more on the characters. Yes, I think that would be a lot of fun to! I am reading more and more, so as I read more I'll be able to talk about more genres!
@@MagusMarquillin Yes most definitely a INFP. Discovered Tolkien in my school library long before he was mainstream, before the movies, while i was deep in my mythology phase (I'm a archaeologist now)
oh yes !! I want to read more from him. Some people are put off by his willingness to talk about strange, somewhat taboo things, but I really enjoy his writing style and the way he makes you think.
@@PsychologyandChillwMichi Yes, he makes me think, but it's as if I'm thinking whilst in a lucid dream. Maybe I've always been quite comfortable with strange things that are a little bit taboo, but really, there's always something about his stories and characters that's.. poignant. I'm not usually the one to recommend books to others, I'm always the one who is curious about what others are reading. But if and when someone asks, I will always recommend Murakami.
DUDE I loved that book a lot! It's back and forth letters between the two time travelers and it's faaaaaantastic!! It's also really beautifully written
As an ENTP who don't like reading I can tell you I don't like books unless I have the sudden urge to want to read. Even if I get it I probably get bored halfway and stop and move to the movie version because thats what i felt while reading Harry potter
This is really cool! I love Sci-Fi so I could always go for more recommendations. ^^ I actually own _An Absolutely Remarkable Thing_ but I just haven't gotten around to reading it yet. (I also own _1Q84_ at least the first one). One of my favorite Sci-Fi novels of all time the is the book called _Hyperion_ by Dan Simmons. It was actually recommended to me by Hank Green (the writer of _An Absolutely Remarkable Thing_ ) in one of his vlogs. x) It's technically the first in a series; _Hyperion_ and _The Fall of Hyperion_ covering 2 halves of One story, and then _Endymion_ and _The Rise of Endymion_ covering 2 halves of another story taking place in the same universe, years later. It's very creative, it has very interesting characters, very cool ideas, moral quandries and philosophies, while still having some really cool action moments. It's one of those books (series) that I wish I could read for the first time again. Highly recommended if you haven't checked it out.
I'd say it falls into the same personality type as Altered Carbon, with all the crazy stuff that happens, although its also got some big ideas and stuff like that so there's something for many different personality types.
OMG you need to read An Absolutely Remarkable Thing! It's one of my favorite books of 2020 and it really hit me in the feels. It was super interesting! Funny you mention Hyperion, one of my friends on insta just posted that they are gonna read it this month! It does look really interesting and has definitely been creeping onto my PP(Possibility Pile)
I like cosmic horror stories and stories that can give me the feeling of paranoia. The interest is not the paranoia itself, but I want to know how that feeling can be replicated.
Ah yeah I thought I reccognised the title 'dark matter' I saw the series on Amazon Prime. I'm ENTP and I did like the story. I've read 'do androids dream of electric sheep' aka 'Bladerunner' I would also recommend other PK Dick stories that were made into films "screamers", 'total recall', 'minority report'. I don't like Isaak Asimov as a writer, he's like the Bob Dylan of writing, a better writer needs to re write his novels. I've read all the foundation books. I think the Terry Pratchett & Stephen Baxter 'The Long War' is better written imho :-). For someone who doesn't like science much but likes quirky comedy, I'd recommend Douglas Adams Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, a detective who believes in the interconnectedness of all things in order to solve a case, it's genius. I love sci fi
INTJ = Foundation. What else can I say? That I can't believe it never ocurred to me how much it represent us. And I mean all of them, beyond the trilogy, there's like seven of them? I don't recall. Another saga with long time planing and story over characters could be Dune, all of it, again. And finally, maybe Anathem or Accelerando.
imho, any intj (infj?) who wants to get emotionally mature (works in so many levels like empathy, sympathy,...) should read ishiguro's books, maybe starting with 'klara and the sun'. boy, he was such an acquired taste for me and i realized i was lacking that level of maturity. he uses some themes that i lived with my entire life! i couldn't believe someone would actually be able to deliver such feelings via mere text. such a beautiful prose as well. i donno, maybe it's just a personal thing. or maybe my type isn't what it used to be. i'm reading his 'the buried giant' now, and 'the remains of the day' is next. now back to klara again, i cannot hold myself anymore now that you did this video, i wanna say that: klara is ni-dom, or at least she has a ni-fi loop. change my mind! :)
omg she is a clear Ni dom to me, however, she seemed more INFJ -- the way she evaluated emotions and responses seemed to be Fe to me But Kazuo really is an amazing writer omg
@@PsychologyandChillwMichi hmm.. but that level of fi identity, singular passion, internal moral servitude and sacrifice... i donno. i suck at mbti :) whatever type she was, i was kinda identified with her so bad. [with vision's voice] maybe i am an infj :) we'll talk soon then.
yes it's one of my favorite stories of all time! And I have not read Brave New World, but as like 10 people have told me about it or to read it in the last month alone, I no longer think I can ignore the calling!
@@PsychologyandChillwMichi I think I've watched the film such (just forgot its name)it's more of a dystopia than Sci-fi. everyone just want to exploit you and keep you down for fun, that's very obvious in this work. what type do you think Alex the protagonist is? edit: Talking about The Brave New World, I suggest watch the BBC film made in the 70s first to get to know the plot. its a slow burner and it's evershifting narrative can be confusing. the interesting thing is about the system, not really the characters.
I love Never Let Me Go, both book and film are great. 💔 I think it's even more interesting when read from an animal rights perspective, as an analogy for speciesism and the ethics regarding animal agriculture.
I don't want to spoil anything but could you reply why you liked Clockwork Orange? Specifically the ending. I'd appreciate it. It's been 10 years or so, but I remember thinking whattheheckyoutalkaboutAnthony? I checked it because after reading Anthony Burgess bashing the movie, and then, I thought it was a bunch of preachy nonsense. That's how I am with a lot of science fiction, even the Twilight Zone. Some great episodes! The Obsolete Man is one of my favorite science fiction stories ever, and the Hollowing Man episode was the only tv show or movie that actually scared me while watching it...maybe. Horror does scare me but it's delayed. lol I wasn't scared watching the Exorcist but later on when it was a foggy day....I didn't need to change my shorts or anything but...I forget what we're talking about...oh yeah, Clockwork Orange, what's your thoughts? Much obliged!
the book ending is definitely different than the movie and my bf and I actually discussed it at length because the movie is one of his favorites. He detests the ending in the book as it takes away from the theme and the purpose of the story from his perspective. I liked the ending because it showed that the character had the possibility for change, not by being forced into it, but making a choice based on his experiences and desires. I think it made the story better, but many people disagree.
@@PsychologyandChillwMichi Thanks for sharing both your takes. I was a lot younger so I might have a different take as an adult but wasn't there something where the author had Alex go into a preachy speech about his kid having free will? That was a thing that bugged me. And maybe because I heard the author bashing the movie because it took out his ending, so he set me up for some kind of mind blowing experience in comparison to the movie, and it came across like a tagged on preachy epilogue that didn't naturally flow with the story just to go on and on. I don't even remember if I agreed with the message, but it reminded me of a similar problem I had with the sci-fi Metal Gear Solid video game story where Metal Gear Solid fans were puffing their chests about the brilliance of Metal Gear Solid, which had a message about free will, and not only did it not live up to the chest puffing hype, but its ending had characters going on and on about recognizing how the protagonist had free-will. I already believed in free-will, so having a character go on and on about it, after hearing people puff their chests about it put a stink on the experience. Also, the gameplay wasn't that good (6/10 game) so there was more stink on the experience, but I do appreciate if the story helped people out, and since people would prefer to hear stories over my preaching, sweet. I'm glad if fiction can help people, and I understand different stories help different people and that people are on different stages in their life journey (people will probably think it's odd that Dragon Ball was so inspirational to me but when I wear a dark blue shirt I think of Goku's walk through hell with a smile attitude), but, in general, I had an aversion to sci-fi because of a lot of chest puffing over stuff that I don't think lived up to the hype (Star Wars not living to it's cinematic hype put a stink on it for me but I might enjoy them more nowadays...I like the Star Wars Gangsta Rap!). And also, I saw a lot of people going on and on about sci-fi stuff being great, such as Black Mirror, but then they acted like the villains in the sci-fi stories they were praising. And I guess you could say, don't pay attention so much to what others think, but a motivation to get into fiction (and MBTI) is to connect with others, which is why Jurassic Park is your recommendation that stood out to me the most because that seems like the story that would lend itself to me connecting with the most people since it has pop-culture ties, so I might be able to bring something to the table to a Jurassic Park movie discussion if it ever comes up. And I prefer fiction let the art speak for itself, and let people take what they want from it. I haven't read The Lord of the Rings since I was a kid but, I think it was a very virtuous story that wasn't preachy. The virtue is why I still consider it my favorite story since, even though I enjoy Dragon Ball the most now currently, I think if things get rough, I'm going to want The Lord of the Rings more than any story. Did you see the sci-fi movie Mad Max Fury Road? When I saw that movie, a takeaway message was the defense for the sanctity of life because of how the pregnant women were being protected. The Mad Max characters didn't give a speech that went on and on about how the characters defending the pregnant women was for the audience to respect life. I was reading into the movie for the defense for the sanctity of life for my enjoyment since that's something important to me. And there were many messages from the science fiction show the Twilight Zone that I've reflected on since I was a kid that weren't preachy. And I thought the science fiction movie the original Planet of the Apes was one of the greatest movies of all time based on whatever framework I was going on at the time, and I don't know even remember it's message. I just thought the story and film-making was excellent. I think you're a sci-fi writer, so, by no means am I saying it's a bad genre. I'm just...I actually don't know where I'm going with this. I got scroll back up to see how I got here. lol Oh, yeah. Thanks for sharing your takes on the Clockwork Orange. I don't have people to get into these types of conversations in real life so I really appreciate you taking the time to respond. Hope you, your boyfriend, and your families have a very joy-fillled and happy Easter!
It’s interesting how you can layer feeling for each personality type. I’m an ENTP and do the same thing except with reason instead of feeling. Is this a normal thing for each respective type? (I get the thinking vs feeling difference I just mean is the ability to do this for anyone we meet normal?)
this was alright but you only make me curious about the book for a sec because you didn't say much about it other than mentioning the title and saying alternate dimensions. maybe next time quote a paragraph from the book you are suggesting. or find a good amazon comment where the person said something insightful about it. example: what was that? dark matter from blake crouch. (quoting from the top review of amazon) (talking about protagonist) "Unfortunately, the family man version of himself never thinks. He doesn't react with any intelligent thought when he is kidnapped. He never starts thinking. The protagonist should perhaps have been an investor instead of a brilliant physicist. That might have read as truer to life. Most readers and most movie goers are not exceptionally smart, so perhaps this excruciating flaw may not detract from the novel for them. It may not detract from the novel for you. But hard SF is written first and foremost for smart people to evaluate how new advances might play out. If you are one of those people, you may find yourself thinking with irritation early on that the protagonist isn't behaving intelligently. It never gets any better. He never thinks like a physicist." that would have bothered me too. next top review after that one is 0 stars and says "truly awful". here is an example how you can seduce me intellectually as an entp. following, i am quoting from amazon's own description of diaspora: gren egan. "Behold the orphan. Born into a world that is not a world. A digital being grown from a mind seed, a genderless cybernetic citizen in a vast network of probes, satellites, and servers knitting the Solar System into one scape, from the outer planets to the fiery surface of the Sun. Since the Introdus in the 21st century, humanity has reconfigured itself drastically. Most chose immortality, joining the polises to become conscious software. Others opted for gleisners: Disposable, renewable robotic bodies that remain in contact with the physical world of force and friction. Many of these have left the Solar System forever in fusion drive starships." feel me?
"Put two ships in the open sea, without wind or tide, and, at last, they will come together." Jules Verne Hi, my favorite sci-fi author, old one but still very good book and this quote fit perfectly with your subject today. First of all thank you for all your suggestions, unfortunatly for me, I do not read all of those books because I am not a fan of this kind of book. Nevertheless, I read some of it, like the Murikami, Asimov, Burgess, Ishigoro and of course as canadian Margaret Atwood. Sorry, I forget Crichton. I do not tell the title because I am more intersted on the writer, the way he thinks than the book, I do not mean I do not like the story, it is just when I choose to read one author, I try to read at least 2 of his books. As I remark in your vidéo, you choose very good book: Murikami: the most popular japanese author actually, I read 1q84, and Kafka on the shore. He knows how to mix reality and fantasy, I like it, I feel some way of thinking of the mangaka, mix with occidental référence, I like that. Asimov: I read all the 3 books of the "Foundation" séries when I was in high school, very useful to understand science and what we can do with it. Burgess: very dark author, I read clockwork orange and Earthy power. It is like psychopathic caracters that he likes. Ishigoro: I read 4 of his books because he is à Nobel prized, but his last book "Klara and the sun" is not very good. Yes, good for most of people but it is not that Ishigoro that I know. Atwood: Nothing to say apart she is waiting to her Nobel prize. A little greetings to our Nobel prized Alice Monroe, you are still the best, sorry Margaret. Crichton: too much like scenaristic writing. I do not like read it but I like all the story. I am sorry, if I do not read the another ones because I do not know them, so thank you for your suggestions again it gives me some information about what can I read on sci-fi. Thanks Ps: "If you don't try, nothing ever changes." Elena Ferrante I suppose, now you find new way to mix all your interest, in same topic or in one person: Michi. Maybe before you do not see the connections of those topics apparently différents but existing in one person: you, and now you find some way to put them together and give them a meaning who can define who is "Heart of Michi". Sorry, it is not my business but you are so open minded, so I think you can understand my point of view. If it is not the case, I am sorry.
Thank you so much for sharing all your thoughts! We all have different tastes. I do wish to find more people who love scifi as that's the genre I write and really love the most. But, whatever you like is special for you and I'm grateful you are different and have your own favorite kind of books. That helps me and others broaden our horizons and see more points of view that we otherwise might have. I can totally understand not enjoying Crighton, because it's true, he does describe the details of everything. That's actually why I suggested him for ESTP because of how well he's able to put you right in the scene. Have you watched interviews with him? Watching his interviews is part of why I became so invested with the book and want to read more of his writing. He has a very interesting point of view on science and how it might be applied by humanity that both feels realistic and cautionary. I enjoy that most about him. Atwood's writing is phenomenal, in my opinion, I really love her ability to show you the mind of someone. I've also watched many of her interviews on how she feels about the topics she writes and it's so fascinating. I believe now after discussing this with you, I want to look more into the authors of some of the other books I have read to learn more about their thought processes and world views.
@@PsychologyandChillwMichi Thanks for your answer I have already talk to Atwood, when she came in Montréal, 2 times now, great woman. If I have time I would look at those interview that you mention. "Knowing was a temptation. What you don't know won't tempt you." Margaret Atwood. She is right now I want to look at this interview, because of your kindness. Thanks 😊👍
INTP: Sorry a big miss. "The-Three Body Problem", REALLY! I think this is through your own filter. Altered-Carbon is maybe the best of the choices (outside the Foundation). Sorry but 1Q84 suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My eyes figuratively bled by the third book. Please reevaluate.
Well what we like is subjective- my recommendation won’t necessarily work for you just because I recommended it based on your type. And if you thought 1Q84 sucked then it wasnt right for you. I really loved that book so to each their own ☺️
This is one of the most thoughtful book recommendation videos I've ever seen!

And maybe because I heard the author bashing the movie because it took out his ending, so he set me up for some kind of mind blowing experience in comparison to the movie, and it came across like a tagged on preachy epilogue that didn't naturally flow with the story just to go on and on.
I don't even remember if I agreed with the message, but it reminded me of a similar problem I had with the sci-fi Metal Gear Solid video game story where Metal Gear Solid fans were puffing their chests about the brilliance of Metal Gear Solid, which had a message about free will, and not only did it not live up to the chest puffing hype, but its ending had characters going on and on about recognizing how the protagonist had free-will. I already believed in free-will, so having a character go on and on about it, after hearing people puff their chests about it put a stink on the experience. Also, the gameplay wasn't that good (6/10 game) so there was more stink on the experience, but I do appreciate if the story helped people out, and since people would prefer to hear stories over my preaching, sweet.
I'm glad if fiction can help people, and I understand different stories help different people and that people are on different stages in their life journey (people will probably think it's odd that Dragon Ball was so inspirational to me but when I wear a dark blue shirt I think of Goku's walk through hell with a smile attitude), but, in general, I had an aversion to sci-fi because of a lot of chest puffing over stuff that I don't think lived up to the hype (Star Wars not living to it's cinematic hype put a stink on it for me but I might enjoy them more nowadays...I like the Star Wars Gangsta Rap!). And also, I saw a lot of people going on and on about sci-fi stuff being great, such as Black Mirror, but then they acted like the villains in the sci-fi stories they were praising. And I guess you could say, don't pay attention so much to what others think, but a motivation to get into fiction (and MBTI) is to connect with others, which is why Jurassic Park is your recommendation that stood out to me the most because that seems like the story that would lend itself to me connecting with the most people since it has pop-culture ties, so I might be able to bring something to the table to a Jurassic Park movie discussion if it ever comes up.
And I prefer fiction let the art speak for itself, and let people take what they want from it. I haven't read The Lord of the Rings since I was a kid but, I think it was a very virtuous story that wasn't preachy. The virtue is why I still consider it my favorite story since, even though I enjoy Dragon Ball the most now currently, I think if things get rough, I'm going to want The Lord of the Rings more than any story.
Did you see the sci-fi movie Mad Max Fury Road? When I saw that movie, a takeaway message was the defense for the sanctity of life because of how the pregnant women were being protected.
The Mad Max characters didn't give a speech that went on and on about how the characters defending the pregnant women was for the audience to respect life. I was reading into the movie for the defense for the sanctity of life for my enjoyment since that's something important to me.
And there were many messages from the science fiction show the Twilight Zone that I've reflected on since I was a kid that weren't preachy.
And I thought the science fiction movie the original Planet of the Apes was one of the greatest movies of all time based on whatever framework I was going on at the time, and I don't know even remember it's message. I just thought the story and film-making was excellent.
I think you're a sci-fi writer, so, by no means am I saying it's a bad genre. I'm just...I actually don't know where I'm going with this. I got scroll back up to see how I got here. lol
Oh, yeah. Thanks for sharing your takes on the Clockwork Orange. I don't have people to get into these types of conversations in real life so I really appreciate you taking the time to respond.
Hope you, your boyfriend, and your families have a very joy-fillled and happy Easter!
It’s interesting how you can layer feeling for each personality type. I’m an ENTP and do the same thing except with reason instead of feeling. Is this a normal thing for each respective type? (I get the thinking vs feeling difference I just mean is the ability to do this for anyone we meet normal?)
Well the feeling and thinking functions are how we relate to others so i would imagine yes but to varying levels of success
this was alright but you only make me curious about the book for a sec because you didn't say much about it other than mentioning the title and saying alternate dimensions. maybe next time quote a paragraph from the book you are suggesting. or find a good amazon comment where the person said something insightful about it. example: what was that? dark matter from blake crouch.
(quoting from the top review of amazon)
(talking about protagonist) "Unfortunately, the family man version of himself never thinks. He doesn't react with any intelligent thought when he is kidnapped. He never starts thinking. The protagonist should perhaps have been an investor instead of a brilliant physicist. That might have read as truer to life.
Most readers and most movie goers are not exceptionally smart, so perhaps this excruciating flaw may not detract from the novel for them. It may not detract from the novel for you. But hard SF is written first and foremost for smart people to evaluate how new advances might play out. If you are one of those people, you may find yourself thinking with irritation early on that the protagonist isn't behaving intelligently. It never gets any better. He never thinks like a physicist."
that would have bothered me too. next top review after that one is 0 stars and says "truly awful".
here is an example how you can seduce me intellectually as an entp. following, i am quoting from amazon's own description of diaspora: gren egan.
"Behold the orphan. Born into a world that is not a world. A digital being grown from a mind seed, a genderless cybernetic citizen in a vast network of probes, satellites, and servers knitting the Solar System into one scape, from the outer planets to the fiery surface of the Sun. Since the Introdus in the 21st century, humanity has reconfigured itself drastically. Most chose immortality, joining the polises to become conscious software.
Others opted for gleisners: Disposable, renewable robotic bodies that remain in contact with the physical world of force and friction. Many of these have left the Solar System forever in fusion drive starships."
feel me?

Hi, my favorite sci-fi author, old one but still very good book and this quote fit perfectly with your subject today.
First of all thank you for all your suggestions, unfortunatly for me, I do not read all of those books because I am not a fan of this kind of book.
Nevertheless, I read some of it, like the Murikami, Asimov, Burgess, Ishigoro and of course as canadian Margaret Atwood. Sorry, I forget Crichton.
I do not tell the title because I am more intersted on the writer, the way he thinks than the book, I do not mean I do not like the story, it is just when I choose to read one author, I try to read at least 2 of his books. As I remark in your vidéo, you choose very good book:
Murikami: the most popular japanese author actually, I read 1q84, and Kafka on the shore. He knows how to mix reality and fantasy, I like it, I feel some way of thinking of the mangaka, mix with occidental référence, I like that.
Asimov: I read all the 3 books of the "Foundation" séries when I was in high school, very useful to understand science and what we can do with it.
Burgess: very dark author, I read clockwork orange and Earthy power. It is like psychopathic caracters that he likes.
Ishigoro: I read 4 of his books because he is à Nobel prized, but his last book "Klara and the sun" is not very good. Yes, good for most of people but it is not that Ishigoro that I know.
Atwood: Nothing to say apart she is waiting to her Nobel prize. A little greetings to our Nobel prized Alice Monroe, you are still the best, sorry Margaret.
Crichton: too much like scenaristic writing. I do not like read it but I like all the story.
I am sorry, if I do not read the another ones because I do not know them, so thank you for your suggestions again it gives me some information about what can I read on sci-fi.
Thanks

I suppose, now you find new way to mix all your interest, in same topic or in one person: Michi. Maybe before you do not see the connections of those topics apparently différents but existing in one person: you, and now you find some way to put them together and give them a meaning who can define who is "Heart of Michi". Sorry, it is not my business but you are so open minded, so I think you can understand my point of view. If it is not the case, I am sorry.
Thank you so much for sharing all your thoughts! We all have different tastes. I do wish to find more people who love scifi as that's the genre I write and really love the most. But, whatever you like is special for you and I'm grateful you are different and have your own favorite kind of books. That helps me and others broaden our horizons and see more points of view that we otherwise might have.
I can totally understand not enjoying Crighton, because it's true, he does describe the details of everything. That's actually why I suggested him for ESTP because of how well he's able to put you right in the scene. Have you watched interviews with him? Watching his interviews is part of why I became so invested with the book and want to read more of his writing. He has a very interesting point of view on science and how it might be applied by humanity that both feels realistic and cautionary. I enjoy that most about him.
Atwood's writing is phenomenal, in my opinion, I really love her ability to show you the mind of someone. I've also watched many of her interviews on how she feels about the topics she writes and it's so fascinating.
I believe now after discussing this with you, I want to look more into the authors of some of the other books I have read to learn more about their thought processes and world views.
@@PsychologyandChillwMichi Thanks for your answer I have already talk to Atwood, when she came in Montréal, 2 times now, great woman. If I have time I would look at those interview that you mention. "Knowing was a temptation. What you don't know won't tempt you." Margaret Atwood. She is right now I want to look at this interview, because of your kindness. Thanks 😊👍
Hahahaha yeah recommending 3 body problem for INTPs is fair, I read it with a permanent wtf is going on face
I like to watches videos Offline so unable to comments🙄, is here someone , who does that same thing as I do or say or wirte😁 ??????????
Hello Mirchi😎
INTP: Sorry a big miss. "The-Three Body Problem", REALLY! I think this is through your own filter. Altered-Carbon is maybe the best of the choices (outside the Foundation). Sorry but 1Q84 suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My eyes figuratively bled by the third book. Please reevaluate.
Well what we like is subjective- my recommendation won’t necessarily work for you just because I recommended it based on your type. And if you thought 1Q84 sucked then it wasnt right for you. I really loved that book so to each their own ☺️
@@PsychologyandChillwMichi Oh as always. Fair enough.
Neat. How many books do you read in a week?
Depends. I keep becoming faster at reading so it keeps increasing but generally one or 2 books a week ☺️
@@PsychologyandChillwMichi That isn't very impressive. I read atleast 6 Dr Seuss books a week.
