Another book from The Great American Read and the 1001 Books to Read Before You Die. Siddhartha is about a young man who goes on a journey of self-discovery. I found it easier to read than I expected with lots of words of the meaning of our existence. Published in 1951 in the US and became very influential during the 1960‘s hippie movement. If you haven‘t read this yet, you should give it a try as it may enlighten you as to the direction of life.
