Steppenwolf is pretty degenerate. I could see if a Young writer’s main insights into life were ‘dude hashish lmao’ and ‘just fuck some slightly whoreish artsy bohemian gril yolo lol.’
But this is Hesse’s midlife crisis book and he still has nothing more than hash and cunny.

I just wish I would have read it at 18

It's degenerate, but in the most productive way possible. Taking literal /r9k/ NEET and mixing that with a degenerate lifestyle is really interesting. Hermine is obviously supposed to be his anima. (You have read Jung, right?) One quote that really got my feelin reelin was "How can you say you've tried to live if you've never learned to dance?"
It's honestly not a book for everyone. I imagine a woman reading it would be like a healthy adult reading a book on coping with blindness.

I actually had a young woman recommend Steppenwolf to me when we were talking literature. She's a huge reason on why I wound up finally reading it.
