Into homelessness.

definitely not to Steppenwolf if you haven't read it already
Might just worsen your perception of his prose

Demian.

Demian is plebshit. Go for Narcissus and Goldmund, it deals with some similar themes as Siddartha.

I don’t remember thinking his prose was bad in fact I kinda liked it. Then again I read Siddhartha when I was 15 so maybe I might think differently now but out of curiosity what’s wrong with it?

I recommend Marcus Aurelius's Meditations

Why is Demian plebshit

Ignore the snobs op, Hesse is a good gateway but there’s a long way to go. I’d recommend pale fire

The Bible. Siddhartha is about Christian love

The Bhagavad-Gita
>>15059143
Hindus are the only ones that actually do that anymore, in India one can still find homeless Hindu monastics but most Buddhists monks just sit around in temples

Pali Canon

Fruits of the Homeless/Contemplative Life, though this is only one sutra of many
Follow >>15061122's recommendation

Based and drammapilled. Bhagavad Gita and Pali Canon are both worth reading.
