Hello!

Is mr Hesse popular in the United States? Perhaps it is fun in sharing thoughts about Hesse on the internet, does anybody know a Hesse fanclub in the world?

I love Herr Hesse's writings. I go to him when my soul is low and the words fortify me. I think that I find strength in his struggle. He seemed to so prize the simple goodness in life, but had trouble figting through hate, predjudice and pain to get there. His sheer never-ending struggle to find and appreciate the best in life is continually inspiring to me. This is the first time that I have ever responded to something like this on the internet - I hope the "posting" (is that what it is called?) is not a million years old and bugging you! I hope that you are well!
