Siddartha, bt Herman Hesse

This book is not directly related to knowledge management but it was one of my favorite books of all time and having spent the entire semester posting about KM related materials I simply wanted to talk about something I truly enjoy. Also, in a way the is a level of knowledge management going on with the protagonist. The story centers around a young man who is raised with a level of wealth and status but chooses to give it up in order to discover who he really is and his purpose. Throughout the novel he experiences many different things, encounters a wide variety of people, and has to process and sort through a wide range of knowledge on his path to his own enlightenment. Not to give anything away, he eventually uses everything he has learned and all the knowledge he has acquired along his path to find himself and what he is meant to do. Read it. Now.
