[Logos]

Interesting. Now let us see if we can expand that list.

[Creepy-bg]

I haven't read one of those books.

[Logos]

I haven't read one of those books.

Which is why we should probably expand the list to include characters which we have read. :wink:

[Not A Communist Shill]

Yeah, well...I'm gonna try and buy some of these books, you know... Dead Souls by Nikolai Gogol seems interesting from looking at wikipedia - and Astrid Lindgren was the person who wrote Pippi Longstocking - but it appears this particular book of hers is difficult to obtain at a low price .

[Blaze]

i don't read all that much fiction. mostly i read non fiction. and there's a lot of non fiction which reminds me of intj's and entp's.

ISFp\SEI
Dick Swiveller - The Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens

[Not A Communist Shill]

I've added links to all the texts available online for free - you might not like reading them on a computer, but you could just read the brief extracts concerning the relevant character or see if you like the book, and then buy a physical copy.

[Elro]

I haven't finished Catch-22 yet (due to schoolwork) but from what I've read:
Yossarian = ISFp?

[Not A Communist Shill]

Anamericancer is a fictional ENTp.
I wrote a book about her once. She is quite the character!

Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.

[Not A Communist Shill]

That hurts.

Surely you understand that it is because I have not read any of those books.
I am a borderline creep stuck between boredom and feeling left out in your fabulous novel discussion.
Pardon me, dear.
I hope I haven't ruined your thread with my nonsense.

That's the line said by Rhett Butler right at the end of the film version of Gone With The Wind...I thought I was being extremely clever.

Forgive me if you know this, but-

What a girl............

[Mediator Kam]

I wanna name my kid Rhett, that'd be great.

Maybe he can be an extra in the new "Gone with the Wind" as himself. But he'd move very slow. Being half-snail is sad ):

[Rubicon]

ISFPs:

Jane Bennett - Pride and Prejudice - Austen

Catherine Morland - Northanger Abbey - Austen

[Rocket]

Rhett = ENTP
Scarlett = ESTJ

The whole thing makes a lot of sense socionics wise with Scarlet being a Benefactor to Rhett .... just amazing how they got it so right (script and character wise) somehow the relationship has a ring of truth about it, i can only guess that the author based the dynamic on a couple he knew in real life.
