His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass

A fun fantasy novel. I can see why it was controversial as the Christian Church in this fantasy novel is not a good Christian Church. It's hard for me to read it as a critique of Christianity however.

Siddhartha

By Hermann Hesse

I'm not sure what to take from this novel. It's very deep.

Maybe it's that wisdom must be gained from experience. It can't be taught in lessons. Or perhaps that even if you follow the right path, life will though you curve balls.

 

The Hound Of the Baskervilles

"Reader Come Back" has inspired me to read fiction, just for the heck of it. I've downloaded a bunch of old classics, including Doyle's "The Hound of the Baskervilles."

I'm surprised how much I enjoyed the book. The English, while dated, is very easy to follow. The plot is fun.
