I Love Books
One of the few good things about being in lockdown is that I will finally read some books that I have been postponing for years.
Today I started Hermann Hesse's 'The glass bead game'. I remember starting it in my early twenties, after being spellbound by Demian and Steppenwolf. But 'The glass bead game' was something different. Too dense. Too cold. Like a palace made of white ivory that you look in awe but you feel you cannot enter. I could not finish it, and I remember I thought 'maybe at some point later'. Well, that 'later' has finally come.
Anyone else going to read some long overdue book during lockdown?
