Good books. I have heard that Hesse's books are far more impactful if read in German (more so than usual because German is a very descriptive languague and quite a bit is lost in translation). I wish I knew the language.

though the new George R.R. Marting series is one of the better I've read I'd still have to go with

"The Power of One" and its companion/sequel "Tandia by Bryce Courtenay
