Siddhartha - Hermann Hesse

Jonathan Livingstone Seagull - Richard Bach

as per Goo's guideline, given the number of times I've read them both! 40+ for both of them.

I really need to buy myself Siddhartha. I've read it a few times, but never owned a copy. And one day I must persist with The Glass Bead Game and get to the end !

And one day I must persist with The Glass Bead Game and get to the end !

I have read all of Hesse's works except The Glass Bead Game!

After at least a dozen attempts, I've had to give up after a chapter or two: I just can't fathom it!
