I haven't got to that one yet. Any recommendations for it?

I'm nearing the end of The Dice Man-Luke Rhinehart. They say that a novelist's first book is very often autobiographical, at least parts of it anyway. If it's true in this case, that Luke Rhinehart must be one messed up puppy!

Anyone else read it? Thought it started out well and then lost it's way a little but I liked the whole premise of the book and it definitely gets you thinking about our existence and day to day lives.

A good start would be to learn how to spell "grammar".

Read Knulp, my personal Hesse favourite.
The Steppenwolf..or the wolf of the steppes. One you can read again and again...if you don't go crazy first.

Narcissus and Goldman...yeah, I know, it's kind of gay but the comparison of the two personalities as well as the gripping section about the plague make it a must read for interested Hesse readers.

"Grammar" is correct. You caught my little joke.

I found it a little hard to read in terms of style but fine (if a little brief) in terms of coverage for the first 85% of the book. The last 15% however starts on about irreducible complexity and how evolution is a bunch of lies and doesn't actually happen ever. When I got to that point I just threw the book out.
