Well, not only is what you read insightful, I feel your post is, too. I'd be interested in reading more of said book reviews/recommendations.

I remember flustering my extroverted room mate because I had a habit of scoffing extrovertedness based on my own misconceptions of it. She taught me a thing or two about that...

But unfortunately our society really does tend to glamorize extroversion and stigmatize introversion. Anywho...It's nice to know that there are resources that are really considerate of those differences.
