Done reading the first chapter after the long dry introduction. That sheeettt is interesting af already and makes you think a lot. Maybe I’m just dumb and my brain is atrophied from all these years consuming useless information like in the age of the feuilleton lmao but the whole connection between different disciplines starts to make sense like new parts of my brain open? Probably I’m just dumb

I’m starting to understand the structure of this book, as Hesse brings the theoretical concept of the Glass Beas Game, this fictionalized unifying ontology system, as a way to journey through and critique related world religions and philosophies.

The chapter I’ve just completed, Two Orders, takes us through breaks through Knecht’s experience inside a Christian monastery. Great discussions!

Skipped most the poetry again (sawry), but did read The Rainmaker.

Introduction chapter made me wanna die, first chapter gets things going, I like it so far. It’s my favorite book after all !
