If you enjoy reading a novel that offers insight on all your life's questions, then I suggest you take notice of this book. It is historical fiction based on the Buddha, and is a rather short read for those who do not wish to spend more than a week at a time on a book. It's an intermediate choice. Some may find difficulty understanding the metaphors and themes, but with spark notes, you should be okay. This book is great for leisure or the classroom. I suggest reading a little about the author for better comprehension. A good summary of the book can be made in one sentence: Siddhartha, a young Brahmin makes his way through a perilous adventure of self-discovery and the end may come to no surprise, though you will be entertained as the story unfolds.

Though there are many new books out there, it is great to see some students like you, Stephen, tackle the classics. You can find out why they are called classics and understand their influence on our culture.
