    Are you all referring to Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse? If yes, then I can assure you it makes a wonderful read.

    Just finished reading another book

    11. The Lost symbol (Dan Brown)

    Though the book is good enough with some new ideas, I cant help but say I did feel disappointed at a lot of places.!!!
