Siddhartha
by Hermann Hesse
I think I last read Siddhartha in high school. Rereading it now I had almost no memory of its content so it felt like I was reading it for the first time.
Siddhartha is a lyrical poetic powerful legend of a journey to enlightenment. I was absorbed by the major theme of this book, that everyone must find their own path to enlightenment. Siddhartha, a privileged, intelligent, gifted being learns to shed what holds him to this world and finds peace.
What a beautiful piece of art.
