demian was perhaps the first book that got me thinking, "I definitely need to reread this again" with the utmost certainty literally while reading it. during a chaotic and pivotal time in my life, this book's insight, wisdom, and truth provided me w/ both comfort and dread: one is eased by the fact that they're no longer alone w/ their knowledge of what's to come, while simultaneously disheartened by the realization of what is seemingly inevitable.
sinclair's struggles resonated immensely w/ me. though i did fail to grasp some of the metaphorical aspects and didnt fully agree w/ some things, but the book's themes are timeless and even life-saving.
