On My Bookshelf by Joseph Fiennes...
I read Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse when I was 16 and it ignited my passion for literature – I’d been completely uninterested at school. It provides a simple breakdown of Buddhist philosophy as it follows a man who tries to find restoration on a higher plane.
Tracing the spiritual quest of a young Brahmin in ancient India. Journeying through roles as seeker, ascetic, merchant, lover and ferryman, it discovers enlightenment not through ritual or doctrine, but through lived experience and the eternal wisdom of the river.
