Demian by Herman Hesse. Although it’s not as impactful to me as the first time I read it, I enjoy the new interpretations I have with each read. I would find phrases that never struck me before but do when I read them. I pick it up almost yearly, and the annotations I left are sort of a great marker of where my head was at and see how my perspective changed.
Why wouldn’t it be? I know I read it quite quickly too, but I can’t recall details of the story now 🫠
Agreed! I shelved it after reading lol
Almond, Into the Magic Shop, and Demian. I’ve reread Almond and Demian a couple of times, but it’s just different the first time.

Oof, and how are you? That book really got to me and I’ve got a love-hate relationship with it.
I never got past the first couple pages of IQ84. I never quite found or even know what mood to get myself in to read the book 🫠
I’m glad I saw your comment! Didn’t know his wife wrote a biography. Gonna look for a copy of the book.
lol, I think I can see why she would say that. But personally, despite being halfway through the book, I like it. It gives you perspective on her written works.
“A page at a time really helps with denser stuff” Agreed!
Well, this is one way to look at it. I took it in quite literally when I read Piranesi and enjoyed the fantasy. Now I just might reread the book 🤓Thanks for sharing your insights, OP!
