Most CE2 seniors read Siddhartha just before they graduate... as part of the Senior English packet. I often hear them talking about it, so I figured I should give the classic a read.
Though it's just over 100 pages, it wasn't a quick read for me. It's translated and fairly wordy... not conversational. I really struggle with books that aren't conversational and, therefore, gravitate toward those that are.
It was a good story of a man on a spiritual journey. But I found it a bit too philosophical - I prefer novels without a moral :)
Speaking of, I think I'll read a trashy murder mystery next!
