Siddhartha is how I got into Buddhism 9 years ago. Buddhism really is one of the best philosophies on this planet. Story of Buddha is about a rich prince who runs away and abandons his wife and child, in order to find out the truth, goes through gurus and rejects them because they're not the truth, eventually stops looking for the truth in the outside world and starts meditating looking for it on the inside.

Mara, in Buddhism, is the demon that tempted Gautama Buddha by trying to seduce him with the vision of beautiful women who, in various legends, are often said to be Mara's daughters.[1] In Buddhist cosmology, Mara personifies unwholesome impulses, unskillfulness, the "death"[2] of the spiritual life. He is a tempter, distracting humans from practising the spiritual life by making mundane things alluring, or the negative seem positive.

Check out www.accesstoinsight.org, it has the original suttas from the pali canon translaetd in english and easy to read.

Most of Hermann Hesse's works are worth the read. After his divorce, he became a lone wolf.

Funny - some MGTOW friends of mine and I discussed this while we were camping this weekend. Herman Hesse spoke volumes to the male experience and male awakening. It was a common theme in all his books, as most of his books were about himself and his awakenings.
