This is another book that I can completely appreciate, but that doesn‘t mean I thoroughly enjoyed it. I started it on #SerialReader over a week ago, but I‘ve been tired at the end of the day and even attempting to read it put me to sleep. Today, I switched to listening to audio as I worked. There are some great quotes and thoughts to ponder, but I prefer interesting stories over philosophical journeys.

Who read this book? Who liked it? I am reading it for a book club and am halfway through it. I find the character of Siddhartha extremely annoying. I hope I find something more to like about this story as I proceed further. I‘m glad this is a short book, or I‘d have already bailed. :(

Understanding every stage of life was a wonderful experience. I really liked the way Siddharth explored every stage of his life. I think every person should read this book....once.

Some beautiful passages in here. Plenty to ponder. I relate to Siddartha‘s restlessness, seeking, and the appreciation of wisdom that comes with age and experience.

#Reading1001 this type of book is not for me entitled man in search of enlightenment via rambling narrative.

One positive was I did not have any trouble falling asleep when I read this at bedtime 🤣🤣

You don‘t have to be Buddhist or Hindu in order to read and enjoy this. After all, it‘s a classic for a reason. In addition to being a thoroughly entertaining story, it provides interesting information on the background of Gautama Buddha. I‘ve read this twice and enjoyed it both times. Accompany Siddhartha on his path to enlightenment; you‘ll enjoy the journey. This is historical fiction at its finest. Have fun while expanding your mind!

Herman Hesse‘s novel, Siddhartha, follows the son of a wealthy Brahmin named Siddhartha. He leaves his village to join a group of ascetics with his friend, Govinda. A few years after becoming ascetics, Siddhartha and Govinda meet the Buddha; Siddhartha rejects his teachings, his friend decides to become a Buddhist monk. Siddhartha now embarks on a journey of self-discovery. He becomes an avaricious but successful businessman and, later on, a...

liviakadezabek ....humble ferryman living near a river, which acts as his spiritual guide. Through this, Siddhartha experiences the highs and lows of life, finally leading him to enlightenment.

liviakadezabek If you like books that are thought-provoking or about spiritual exploration, you have to check out this book!
A motif in Siddhartha is the concept of “Om,” representing the unity of all things in the universe. Om is periodically featured throughout the novel, appearing at times when a change occurs within Siddhartha.

#wondrouswednesday @Eggs
1. In India, October is known for what we call "October heat", so it's blisteringly hot and uncomfortable, with some sporadic showers! No autumn or Halloween ?
2. Siddhartha really changed my life,it taught me about...managing expectations and really helped with my FOMO. It sounds pretentious but it really changed my life!
3. I use Bookriot's excel template, and use Litsy for quotes I like!
Very fun questions!

This was not what I expected. I am not sure if I fully understood what the author tried to convey. I guess Siddhartha‘s life ultimately depicts that salvation comes from within and we do not need a teacher for attaining nirvana. The message is powerful but I still don‘t get the hype about this book. This may be because I have been distracted and read it without much concentration.

Might read it again after some time.

CaliforniaCay I enjoyed this one. On the surface it was a very simple story and not much happened but I read it in college so it was very interesting to hear how others interpreted and looked into every detail of the book for deeper meanings. Its definitely deep but had I read it on my own it would have gone over my head. 4y
Shaleen @CaliforniaCay This is probably what happened with me. Not exactly over the head but I definitely need to read it again to understand it better. 🙈🙈 4y
Cenuel I read this as a freshman in college. It was entertaining on some level but my professor seemed very enthusiastic about it and I remember being unsure whether the enthusiasm was about the book itself or if he was just enthusiastic about Buddhism and playing up the book because of the book‘s topic. If I reread it now I might have a different view. 4y
BethM I read and enjoyed this in college. Now that I‘m older I can understand some of it more through becoming a yoga teacher. 4y

I remember reading this in high school, which means it must have been assigned to me, though this would be an unusual choice for my rural school back then. My memory is that I liked the book but I am not sure I understood it. #mystical #magnificentmarch

OriginalCyn620 I‘ve never read it, so it must not have been assigned reading in my high school. I always read whatever was assigned! I may not have liked it, but I read it. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 4y
MallenNC @OriginalCyn620 I am thinking it may have been in an AP list or something. I always did the assigned readings too. It didn‘t even occur to me not to — not even Heart if Darkness, my all time most hated. 4y
