Just now getting around to reading some good ol' westernized eastern existentialism stuff

knocked off Huxley's Island and Hesse's Siddhartha this month. Starting Ubik by Philip K Dick, but not necessarily expecting it to be very similar to the other 2. Any further suggestions are appreciated.

Not Existentialism, but Schopenhauer ticks the Eastern/Western boxes.

The Razor's Edge by W. Somerset Maugham and The Transposed Heads by Thomas Mann are not the best of what you're looking for, but they're damn good and too often overlooked.

More Hess is also an obvious move.
