I’ve had a Myspace for almost 2 years, and it was splendid when nobody knew about it. Then the “Myspace Fever” swept the whole freakin’ nation and now I can’t even go out in public without hearing some mention of the dreaded “M” word. It’s a cool place, yeah. But when it starts taking over your social life and you begin to talk about it over your cocktail, it’s time to let it go.

I read this novel as an English project along the guidelines that you had to read it in complete silence and keep a journal of your spiritual findings. I loved the artistic license that Hesse took with Buddhism. I have become a much more spiritually mature person for having read it. This book is really meant for the soul searchers and seekers! One of the best I’ve read so far.
