Age- too old to post here

Reading- reread a couple short books yesterday, the Daodejing and The Old Man and the Sea. The former I reread often and it’s been a while since I’ve read Hemingway so it’s nice to remember why he’s an old favorite

As for my main read, it’s Stach’s 3 volume ~2000 page Kafka biography. Starts back in the Thirty Year War and explains the Czech and Jewish situation well as a backdrop for understanding Kafka and his relationship with his dad especially. I just started it a few days ago but I like it a lot and it obviously goes way in depth

Would you recommend it? I've read Steppenwolf back when I was 15 and liked it (with Harry Heller being basically a middle-aged intelligentsia version of Holden Caulfield and Hermine being the woman of incel's dreams), then I've started The Glass Bead Game and never finished it, because it felt a bit too juvenile for me (and Knecht with Designori felt like characters outright from shōnen anime). I consider Hesse a decent but somewhat immature writer, would that book break my perception of him?
>>
>>24090227
The more affinity you have towards (and knowledge of) Eastern spirituality the better, but yes. I am enjoying The Glass Bead Game so far largely because it reminds me of my youth, so I agree, but maybe give it some years. You might also give Demian a try.
