Like this it works great. Hope you wont get spam. The one with OpenID only works well too and other bloggers said it keeps the spam out. <br />I'm very glad you chose to review these two stories. I am not familiar with them but I like both writers a lot. I have got almost all of Hesse's work, so should have the story too.<br />I like his for all the themes he incorporates, Both like to exploring athe life of artitsts but Hesse is far more spiritual.<br />I was wondering, since he got the Swiss passport if he got the Nobel Prize as a Swiss or as a German author.Carolinehttp://beautyisasleepingcat.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-63441109231769482272011-11-25T10:01:39.742+08:002011-11-25T10:01:39.742+08:00Great post.

I didn't really like Siddhartha, but I might give Hesse's short stories a shot.Darlyn (Your Move, Dickens)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00979296421309409564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-33130311812210463442011-11-24T18:54:49.966+08:002011-11-24T18:54:49.966+08:00Thank you! :)Thank you! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09025107858336900589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-52412614622456892482011-11-24T18:23:49.723+08:002011-11-24T18:23:49.723+08:00Becky (Page Turners)-I read the Glass Bead Game al...Becky (Page Turners)-I read the Glass Bead Game also and recall it as a remarkable book also-thanks as always for your comments<br /><br />Tony-In Hesse you might enjoy Stepphenwolf-The Magic Mountain is a very powerful all encompassing sort of work-thanks very much for your commnents<br /><br />Che-I am find a lot of writers I thought wrote only novels wrote a lot of short stories either-until two or three months ago I had no idea that Mann and Hesse were both prolific short story writers-thanks as always for your very welcome comments.Mel uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08714473754458914681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-14048594725866153922011-11-24T17:19:33.595+08:002011-11-24T17:19:33.595+08:00I've only read Beneath the Wheel by Hesse but ...I've only read Beneath the Wheel by Hesse but I do intend to get to Siddhartha eventually.

Thanks for the recommendation on the order to read him too. I have been meaning too for a long time, and so I purchased The Glass bead (but still haven't got around to reading it).
