Hey Jess,

Good choice. And I love the price of Dover paperbacks. Ever checked out the Dover CONCERNING THE SPIRITUAL IN ART by Kandinsky? Probably the book that began the modern art movement. Leave it to Dover to keep us in our Hesse.

I adore SIDDHARTHA. It really is one of the greatest small books ever written. Interesting news: There is another book now, possibly a companion? that has been called, 'a modern day Siddhartha.' Is such possible? I didn't think so until curiosity got the better. What's shocking is that it takes us into the ocean as meditation. The water images so similar in tone!

You be the book master and let us know! Oh yes, TOUCH THE OCEAN.

Thanks for this bright reminder! Haven't read it in years, and as a Dover, so much greater the pleasure!

Cheers,
Happy

Thanks. I'm planning on picking several more Dovers over the next few months. High quality books at an affordable price is always good.

Siddhartha (Dover Thrift Editions)

In the shade of a banyan tree, a grizzled ferryman sits listening to the river. Some say he's a sage. He was once a wandering shramana and, briefly, like ...more
