The Alchemist

I just finished this book by brazilian author Paulo Coelho.  I really enjoyed it.  It had an interesting way of being extremely simple while still posing deep and far-reaching ideas that are easily applicable to anyone who reads it.  It's a quick read and worth the few days that it will take you to read it. 


Also, if you enjoy soundtracks I highly recommend "Meet Joe Black" (also recommend for a great movie as well-funny how these two aspects seem to coincide, if it's a good sountrack it'll be a good movie).  I was saddened that it wasn't on itunes' collection but that's what amazon is for right? :)


Does anyone have a good suggestion for a good book they've recently read?  I want a book that will make an impact-make me think, and be engaging etc.  Open for suggestions :)

  1. Remember when we read the phantom toll booth? That is my suggestion, and always will be because that is as intellectual as I am willing to be.

  3. I know that you will find this hard to believe but I just started reading the Harry Potter series! I know ...finally! I'm about half way through the first book and was pleasantly surprised. I figured having seen the movies it would be boring or blah but it's a quick read and I'm enjoying it. I thought I better hurry while you and Stephen still have all the books in the house. Hah!!!
