Hesse is insanely good. I read almost all his books in the past year.
I want to re-read Siddhartha soon, after only like 8 months. I don't think it's really about Buddhism persay. Hesse uses it to get across some ideas. The main point was that Siddhartha realized the oneness of the world, in that each part is not a distinct entity - because that "distinct entity" is defined by it's relations to everything else. The realization brings him joy to consider himself not second class, but simply part of it all. Right?
