Just a reminder that Caroline at Beauty is a Sleeping Cat and I are co-hosting a Hermann Hesse reading week, starting today.
I’ve cross-posted my original introduction on a separate page and if you read anything by Hesse, or have anything to say about him, do please post a comment or a link there. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts very much!

A bit busy to take part, unfortunately, but I’d love to try some more Hesse – have fun 🙂

Thanks!

I added a Mr Linky to my post. Hopefully, we’ll catch everyone’s contrubutions.
Mar 07, 2016 @ 09:36:25
Excellent!
Mar 07, 2016 @ 10:56:25
Oh dear I’ve forgotten all about this and I don’t have any Hesse books. I will look out for everyone else’s reviews though.
Mar 07, 2016 @ 11:46:44
Not to worry – you can still get plenty of ideas for future reads from the reviews! 🙂
Mar 07, 2016 @ 11:24:26
Ooo right! I’ve done the reading, now I just need to write the post!
Mar 07, 2016 @ 11:46:23
Yay! Excellent!

I commented earlier but it’s disappeared. 😦 I’m reading Narziss & Goldmund – I’m not sure if I like it though.
Mar 07, 2016 @ 13:58:59
That’s odd! I checked in the spam and it wasn’t lurking there. Glad you’re joining in and even if you don’t like the book it will still be interesting to hear what you think! 🙂

I’m liking it more now; I’m about 2/3 through.
I sent the msg from my phone. They’ve disappeared into the aether before now.
Mar 07, 2016 @ 17:57:27
Glad it’s improving! 🙂

I reviewed Steppenwolf back in January, and it was interesting but I didn’t love it, so I shall see what everyone else is doing rather than read more! 🙂
Mar 07, 2016 @ 15:50:21
Yes, I remember you did! I’ll link to your review anyway – hopefully what you read might nudge you back to Hesse! 🙂
Mar 07, 2016 @ 18:38:22
Caroline helped me with some links to his poetry. I am going to explore that, and maybe, I will try rereading Siddhartha. 🙂

Excellent! Glad you can join in! 🙂

I hope to post on DEMIAN this Sunday
Mar 07, 2016 @ 22:13:33
Excellent! That may even have been the first Hesse I read!
Mar 07, 2016 @ 22:44:48
I’ll have to skip this one sorry – just not enough hours in the day
Mar 08, 2016 @ 06:51:21
Not to worry – there are more reading events online than any of us can handle!
Mar 08, 2016 @ 10:19:26
I have nothing to read – and the library is in the process of moving so I can’t borrow anything – but I shall be looking on with great interest.
Mar 08, 2016 @ 11:09:30
Not to worry – at least you can get ideas for future reads!
Mar 09, 2016 @ 02:23:03
I read Hesse’s books in high school and loved them. I’ve re-collected a few used copies at sales and look forward to reading them. It will be nostalgia as well as literature for me!
Mar 09, 2016 @ 06:47:11
I know what you mean – my re-reads are a bit like that!
