- shire 12y agohave you read Siddhartha? did you like it.
- cellover 12y agoI loved it, it is concise, deep and enlightening! I highly recommand it.
- tomp 12y agoIt's an amazing book. Apparently, the author had to stop writing it for a few years, since he needed to reach another level of "enlightenment" before he could accurately describe the last part of the book.
- glomph 12y agoI recently read Tingworld for the first time and honestly I found it pretty painfully outdated. I mean obviously the imagination involved was significant at the time but I don't feel like it has aged well.
