I read Siddharta last year and it changed my life. I related very much to the story and was very moved by it. I know absolutely nothing about eastern philosophy or spiritualism but want to read more about it. What should I read?

I guess if you want to be thorough start with hinduism and vedas but I understand you're looking for Buddhism directions

I'd suggest going to a buddhist monastery near you(you may be surprised how many are around) and asking a monk for some suggestions
