>>	Anonymous Tue May 1 11:27:58 2012 No.2607315 Demian was great too. Haven't read Glass Bead Game yet though. Hear a lot of mixed opinions.

>>	Anonymous Tue May 1 11:39:57 2012 No.2607330 A lot of his stuff is pretty dated and cringeworthy. Still some value left in it though.

>>	Anonymous Tue May 1 12:29:58 2012 No.2607399 Demian is by far my favourite, but it seems to me somehow a bit hesitated and not very polished. I just actually noticed that I propably have Hesse's books more than any other author in my collection and I'm not even really that much into Hesse.

>>	Anonymous Wed May 2 00:26:58 2012 No.2609178 I liked The Journey to the East.

>>	Anonymous Wed May 2 00:27:58 2012 No.2609183 What do when you've read everything by Hesse?

>>	Anonymous Wed May 2 00:38:57 2012 No.2609217 >>2609213 Beginner's mind is a Zen thing, not an Indian Buddhism thing

>>	Anonymous Wed May 2 00:39:57 2012 No.2609222 >>2609217 welp almighty then

>>	Anonymous Wed May 2 00:51:58 2012 No.2609249 >>2609183 If it were me, I'd read them all again. This could become a hobby. Some people play bridge, some people read Hesse.
