It's the great study of duality. Though Narcissus and Goldmund is my #2 favorite. The Virgin Mary statue. The crippled girl in love with Goldmund. The plague that kills Goldmund's master and his first lover (Whom he burns in a hut with his goat) The princess. The tragic end (riding away on a horse, falling into a brook, breaking a rib, then pretending not to be hurt until it is too late). Minor, petty emotions that forever drive Goldmund to his doom. Reminds me of someone... It made me want to be a monk and it made me NOT want to be a monk. But the Glass Bead Game has no equal. Pure genius. The Glass Bead Game is the one to read.

I haven't read it yet. I remember Damian and Siddhartha, both of which I bet I just misspelled. And Harold had tons of off beat religion books. And gay coming of age novels. Two space heaters. I took an old wood handled framing hammer and a flathead screwdriver. The dish rack was out there. Who takes an old dish drying rack? That’s the one J-Rod. I haven’t read it yet.
