Siddhartha

That's is one of my favorite books and so bought 2. One for my son and one for my daughter to read 📚. I hope they enjoy it as much as I did, do. Time to re read!!!

I read this book over a decade ago, and hardly understood any of it, but was still swept along by the elegant story-telling, the natural intrigue set up by the premise of a young man in search of wisdom, perhaps enlightenment.This time around, I found the first part of the book exhilarating: it resonated in a way it had not previously, I felt like I was reading a book brimming with latent truths, and I had been handed the key to understanding them.Then I became lost again, but pleasantly so, any hard truth or meaning just beyond my grasp, but Hesse's talents carrying the book successfully to its end.A short book, but deep, like a beautiful pool that is sometimes clear and sunlit.This particular edition is a very nice slim hardback, of good quality, and should last a lifetime. It will need to...Joseph Smith Finally My Ambulance The Wolf & TaurusFinally My AmbulanceThe Wolf & Taurus

Wanted to read again. Keep out on my end table next to my Buddha.

This is quite a short novel, which I believe was very popular in the 60's. It contains some interesting concepts and indian philosophy and will appeal to anyone with an interest in meditation, the 'pursuit' of enlightenment or philosophy. I read it perhaps too quickly, and while interesting it did not have a massive impact on me. However I did enjoy it and recommend it to anyone who is interested in this kind of book. I think it will mull around in my head for a while.

Excellent read!
