Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse

This book has stayed with me for years. It's a quiet, deeply reflective journey about self-discovery, the search for meaning. What resonated most was this idea that true understanding can't be taught—it must be lived and experienced.

It’s a short read, but one that invites you to slow down. Each time I return to it, I take away something new depending on where I am in life.

A relative had to pass a "non Western" book for a high school class. She came to me because I was a known reader.

I suggested Siddhartha. Her friend picked War and Peace.

My credibility went waaaay up:)

(Siddhartha is very thin, like the book)

Funny I reread it again recently after reading it in college. Having a kid and rereading it adds a different dimension to the story.
