Siddhartha is a rambling quest for enlightenment with many mistakes and revelations along the way. It’s a classic, but it’s not really my kind of thing.
You can get it free from Gutenberg, translated by Gunther Olesch, Anke Dreher, Amy Coulter, Stefan Langer and Semyon Chaichenets. I would recommend buying it so that you get the benefit of a more polished translation.
When and why I read it
