Siddhartha

[Dimmu]

My GF recently read this book in her seminar class. She has rated it very highly and I and debating going and checking it out from the library or buying it if the local library doesn't have it for some reason. If you have read this book, how would you rate it? What did you find most intrieging about it? Would you recommend this book?

I liked it quite a bit... I read it in High School.... I'd most definately recommend it.

I read it in HS. I don't remember it too well except that it was pretty interesting for an assigned book. I wouldn't read it again on my own time though.

I read it for the hell of it a few years ago. It was a well-written story of Siddhartha that wasn't written like the typical novels assigned in school; more like an ordinary novella. Was very easy reading (seemed like it was written at a level that a 3rd-grader could understand).

SUCKS

 

[Shalimar The Clown]

"I learned through my body and soul that it was necessary for me to sin, that I needed lust, that I had to strive for property and experience nausea and the depths of despair in order to learn not to resist them, in order to learn to love the world, and no longer compare it with some kind of desired imaginary world, some imaginary vision of perfection, but to leave it as it is, to love it and be glad to belong to it."

-Hermann Hesse

I read it earlier this year in my honors english class. It was probably the best book we've been assigned all year.
