I was in a constant state of "OMG this is literally me" while reading it.

kek, I'm not German, I didn't read in German either bc I still don't have enough level of reading comprehension in that language

me too, i read the exact same edition, my stepfather's copy:D I read on wikipedia that in the first edition published back when Hesse wrote it, the middle part essay (the one given to him by the dwarf guy) had been fashioned as an actual inlay magazine of sorts, clearly distinct from the rest. Must've been a cool gimmick, contributing to the immersion

I eventually want to re-read the book in the original German, but my level right now is something like B1, so I think I should at least wait until I get to a B2 level to re-read it.

I'd say it's mediocre for a non-native-speaker, but give it a try and look how you feel. Don't overthink it so much ^^

thanks, friend, I still have a huge path to go in terms of German vocabulary though, but I know I'll make it

Nichts zu danken. Deutsch ist verdammt hart aber mach kleine Schritte und vergiss nicht Spaß zu haben.

You're welcome. German is ridiculosly hard, but take small steps and don't forget to have fun.

Yeah, Siddartha is a classic for wannabee Buddhists, I still think Der Steppenwolf is better
