I fit categorizations for both E and I, so I don't know what the fuck to do there, but otherwise, I'm NTJ.

I'mma say Baldwin's Another Country, just for some very nicely crafted, non-purple prose, couched in an acutely developed impressionism.

Other than that, I liked Gravity's Rainbow, the Recognitions and the Tropic of Cancer and am enjoying Ada or Ardor as we speak. Earlier stuff, maybe something from H. James' later period (Wings of the Dove or the Golden Bowl), Moby Dick and Vergil in general.
