I read Siddartha in high school and was hooked. Devoured his writings thereafter! 💖

I love Hesse as well. I recall him being quite popular in the 70's. I devoured all of his books back then.

Lucky you. It seems like it's taking me a long time to catch up to the person I wanted to be way back then.

Love this Joyce. I was very influenced by Herman Hesse too. I never considered him to be a young person’s author but I think you’re right. I was young when I read him and could easily comprehend his meanings. Thanks.

I missed him altogether in my youth so this has been a fun experience "meeting" him.
