Pseud. Good prose stylist though.

His popularity exceeds his quality, but I wouldn't call him a hack, much less the biggest hack. I would award that "honor" to Hermann Hesse; Siddhartha is perhaps the most insipid of the supposedly serious novels I've read.

Finished Hermann Hesse’s “Demian” “Siddhartha” and “Steppenwolf.” Loved them.

Any other authors who mix Nietzschean thought with Eastern religion and mysticism? Thanks

Siddartha was outstanding, Steppenwolf was good, but not as good as I expected.
Is there anything else from him that's worth to read?

So how do you understand the rules of the "glass bead game"? How to play it? What did he mean by this? What is the prototype?

Everything I read by this man, I end up loving. Siddhartha was my least favorite and even that was a solid 8. Is it worth learning German so I can read them in their original texts rather than translations?
