Demian, the Story of Emil Sinclair's Youth by Herman Hesse

This book was... interesting. It follows the childhood of a boy named Emil Sinclair from elementary school to college. The book is a very abstract, spiritual book, a kind of coming-of-age novel. Sinclair meets a boy named Demian with whom he's acquainted throughout the entire novel. Demian is smart as shit and has a lot of interesting things to say. I don't want to spoil too much, but if you like very dense books with lots of powerful quotations and life lessons, try this one out.
