The best book I read this year would have to be Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse. It gave me a lot of insight into the world of spirituality and Eastern thought that I hadn't yet received. I think that it pushed me to grow up a bit and realize that I can become less of an angsty, rebellious teenager if I just quit all the complaining and worrying and focus on myself. No one else's life needs to concern me and I don't need to hate the world to be intellectually superior -- just stop caring, and laugh at the imperfections. The world itself should have no significance to me, not the material substances plaguing the people and my mother and sister and friends and acquaintances. No more focusing on the bad and easily changed parts of human society; my own existence matters, and I can affect it and change it any way I deem necessary.
