Boys Coming of Age IV

Sep 9 2006, 1:55 PM EDT

Oh Boy! How could I forget to include Damian by Herman Hesse! I had a therapist recommend this one when I was a young man, dealing with an overbearing, unreasonable boss and parents. I'll never forget it, cause it opened my eyes. It's about a young man who is "different", at first he tries to turn to society, religion, etc, and then to crime. After he meets Damian, a youth that is also different, he begins to realize that he has free will and the ability to think on his own, and begins his transformation into a man. Plenty of psychology in this one.
