Have you ever fallen in love with a writer early on in your life, and you keep re-falling in love every decade or so?

That is my relationship with Hermann Hesse. In my late teens, I discovered the world of Hermann Hesse and fell in love with his deeply philosophical way of thinking, written in a way I could relate to and understand even as a young soul. I keep coming back to his books every decade or so, experiencing them in a whole new way, as if they are growing up with me.
