    Steppenwolf by Herman Hesse was eye-opening and I remember reading as a profound experience. I know this sounds ridiculous but this book was the feeling you get when someone on a forum has the exact problem as you and explore it in depth.

      Herman Hesse is drastically underrated in general IMO. so many great books. I enjoyed Siddharta and Glasperlenspiel (both in german).

        I’m having trouble understanding Siddhartha but still having a good time reading it ;).

        I’m not super privy to this new paradigm of spirituality he goes in depth into !
