I got a message from my gifter saying that the book they were sending to me was a personal favourite and had a similar feel to Zen and The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance - a book I had listed as a recent read which I had really enjoyed even though it was a bit different to what I usually read.

I was very happy to come home to an Amazon package sitting on the doormat today! Inside was a copy of Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse (and a gift note saying "Keep on rockin'!", will do!). I've read the first couple of chapters before posting, I'm intrigued by Siddhartha's journey and experiences so far and feel like this is a book I will need and want to read several times to get the most from it.

My gifter has done a brilliant job sending me something that might just change how I feel about the world a little bit, and it's really great to be sent something that my gifter has enjoyed too. Thank you very much for a thoughtful book!
