Merle, et al.,

I can *recommend* Hesse's, MAGISTER LUDI.

It is also known as: THE GLASS BEAD GAME.

If you're familiar with formal Zen practice, and/or Academia, you will recognize some elements there. It is one of the most fascinating and intriguing stories and characterizations I have ever read. I really, really recommend it. Will you give it a try?
