While I found *Demian* thought provoking, I would recommend it to no one other
than Hesse fans.  The book starts out well, looking like it will go somewhere
interesting, only to conclude with "We must submit to what our nation's fate
brings our way."

If you don't mind depressing yet thought provoking books, read *Steppenwolf*.

When reading Hesse, always remember to take him with a grain of salt.
