FEBRUARY BOOK
Our book for February is Siddhartha by Herman Hesse (link), the German/Swiss Nobelist. It's the Steamworks Brew Pub (Steamworks) next to Waterfront Station once again; on the heated patio if it's open or inside if not. We'll be meeting at 7pm on the evening of Tuesday, February 6. Friends, Romans, countrymen and everyone else are welcome to join our merry troupe.
Though set in a place and time far removed from the Germany of 1922, the year of the book's debut, the novel is infused with the sensibilities of Hermann Hesse's time, synthesizing disparate philosophies–Eastern religions, Jungian archetypes, Western individualism–into a unique vision of life as expressed through one man's search for meaning.
