Siddhartha by Herman Hesse
- electricant 4y agoCame here to say the same. Every time I read it it has a different meaning.
- gilmore606 4y agoSame, I've read Siddhartha once a year for the past 15 years at least. The river always has something to say.
- jmiskovic 4y agoI found it off-putting that Hesse distorted and criticized Buddha's teachings, but found it necessary to insert real world Buddha character into the novel and have him validate author's ideas and philosophies.
- jsrcout 4y agoAgree, but would also list Narcissus and Goldmund. Am I the only one that found something of value in that book? People never seem to mention it.
