[The Glass Bead Game] ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/009928362X?pc_redir=1397308069&robot_redir=1 ) by Hermann Hesse.

Had this on my shelves for a while. Seems like it'd be a good one to discuss.

From Amazon:
>In the remote Kingdom of Castalia, the scholars of the Twenty Third century play the Glass Bead Game. The elaborately coded game is a fusion of all human knowledge - of maths, music, philosophy, science, and art. Intrigued as a school boy, Joseph Knecht becomes consumed with mastering the game as an adult. As Knecht fulfils his life-long quest he must contend with unexpected dilemmas and the longing for a life beyond the ivory tower.
