Siddhartha

I read the book - AGAIN.
I like Siddhartha.

Its written in a simple language and conveys eternity in its few pages.

Why do i like the book?

Coz i like the "process of reading" the book.

Its like a minilifetime.
And whenever i flip through the pages of the book, a tiny voice says to the pages of the book," Yes, i understand what you are going through. I understand how you feel"

My most favourite sections of the book are towards the end when he becomes a ferryman and talks to the river. He is at his best then. Simple, happy and wise and nothin the empty/half filled container!
