Neo, it occurs to me that if Hesse is included because he was a point of reference for so many kids in college, shouldn't we include Ayn Rand then? She continues to appeal year after year. Her books are consistent top sellers. It can be argued that her influence is more wide ranging than Hesse's. Alan Greenspan was a member of the Rand inner circle. Speaking personally, when I started reading her I was fairly liberal. By the time I finished The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged it was as if a veil was lifted. I didn't look at the world in quite the same way anymore. She has her detractors, but I know she has affected a lot of people this way.
