Re: What are you reading?
@LP - interesting that you would say that. i thought so too. read it about 12 - 13 years back. it cast a deep impression on my mind that stayed with me for a long time. you could say it changed at how i looked at the world, how i felt about right and wrong, moral and immoral, good and evil.
i love his ‘steppenwolf’ more than any other book in the world. its beautiful … hits close to home. ‘siddharta’ is excellent also. ‘narcissus and goldmund’, less so … for me. i left journey to the east (?) in the middle. i think by the time i read the last two books, the author had become too predictable, and his contemplative philosophical psychological approach became a bit too overt and too obvious.
I’ll read Steppenwolf next. After reading a book of contemplative philosophical psychological nature, I need to read some light book. I don’t know why,but those books are heavy yet so satisfying.
