That's really awesome. Maybe not so much the book itself but the words in the book and what they mean to the man?

It's actually from my favourite film. Not a great film, but one I enjoy immensely. Called "The Silent Flute" or "Circle of Iron", written by Bruce Lee, made after his death.

the work-if it's good-is more vital than the worker. that's what i think the worker would say.

Does the worker become the work? He certainly becomes defined by it.

a partial definition. but if the work is important it will be standing long after the workers bones turn to dust. the worker will live thru that reflected glory-although that won't really matter much to him or her when he or she's dead.

until we can create a vessel that can travel at the speed of light i think there's going to still be plenty of unanswered questions. i'm glad this thread took care of a big one with the dead question.

Reminds me of Hesse's short story 'Augustus'. Read it if you get the chance.

Demian was brilliant. I am a huge Hesse fan, my favourite writer. Steppenwolf hit me hard, I should give it another read.

I need to read that one too. Don't know if you're a Murakami fan, but the main character reads it in Norwegian Wood.

no i wasn't familiar with that book. i just read the wikipedia about it though. besides "beneath the wheel", the main character is reading "The Magic Mountain". sounds like a very interesting read. i really enjoyed "the magic mountain". i remember distinctly reading that in the morning with my coffee. about 800 pages, 10 pages at a time. it took me awhile, but i savored it. i had a german teacher that wanted us to read "beneath the wheel" in german many years ago. it was too difficult for the class-but it was my introduction to hesse. so, of course, i had to read it in english. not his best-but he wrote some real good books.

thanks for the information.
