Demian: The Story of Emil Sinclair's Youth by Hermann Hesse
4.0
A book of mystery, exploration and self-realisation.
I was lucky enough to read it as a tween, and have taken the time to re-read it at least once a year ever since. Each time I learn something new about the characters, but also about myself. Demian’s ramblings are no doubt easier to understand now, at 20, than they were at 12, and the abstract (and often a tad too pretentious) discussions of religion and spirituality are much more palatable, yet no matter how many times I read them, I never grow tired of them.
