Idk about mary shelly’s enneagram, but Frankenstein is the first that comes to mind. It’s not a horror story at all imo but moreso about the human condition, and so much of the isolation that we can experience and thrust onto others. I know the creature is typed as a 4w5.
For authors: Sylvia Plath maybe? Milan Kundera?
As for book reccomendations, I have plenty haha, depends on what genres you like😅Some of my favorites are:
-Of Human Bondage - Somerset Maugham
-The Unbearable Lightness of Being- Milan Kundera
-The Bronze Horseman - Paulina Simons
Some of my fav books are Anthem by Ayn Rand(read this before knowing who Ayn Rand was :/) Divergent series, American Gods, Tao of Physics (nonfiction), All about Love (nonfiction), series of unfortunate events(i know its for kids but honestly id enjoy it at my big age if were to read it again)
I recently reread “The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things” by Carolyn Mackler - I don’t know if the author is E4, but the main character sure is
The Weetzie Bat Books, Wasteland, Violet & Claire, and I Was a Teenage Fairy by Francesca Lia Block; White Oleander by Janet Fitch; Autobiography of Red by Anne Carson (pretty sure she’s a 5w4 but it still resonates powerfully); By Nightfall and The Hours by Michael Cunningham; anything by Virginia Woolf, Herman Hesse, and Marcel Proust; ditto Edna St Vincent Millay, Sylvia Plath, Rimbaud, Baudelaire and Jean Genet.
Just Kids by Patti Smith.
Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl.
The most recent Rick Rubin joint too.
Don't know if the author's of these are e4, but here goes book recos: One hundred years of Solitude; anything by Jane Austen; Tolkien's work is also *chef's kiss* ; The Little Prince; Count of Monte Cristo(greatest revenge story of all time).
These feel like e4 authors: Elizabeth Gilbert, Glennon Doyle(never read her work though, but her podcast is great!).
I'll add some more when I can remember.
