To me, "Magister Ludi/The Glass Bead Game" is the logical extension
of the earlier "Siddhartha" (sp?), "Narcissus", etc.  At one point,
I went on a binge, reading every Hesse I could get my hands on.
All are of a piece except for "Steppenwolf", a truly unique book.
This is one of the few novels that keeps haunting me.  For example,
it contains one of the most intriguing pieces on humans and laughter
that I've ever seen.
