i finished reading the alchemist today...i just picked it up randomly from the wall of books i have in my room after finishing arthur conan doyle's "lost world".it was a nice transition from a sci-fi adventure, jargon packed read to a more slow paced and reader friendly piece.
inspirational books, i find boring and uninteresting but i thought i'd give it a go, with one thing in mind: exceed the number of books that i get to read last year.
so, how did i find it?
while most readers found the book to be most insightful or inspiring about having a dream and making that dream a reality, i am particularly interested on the words spoken by the King which goes, " bakers have homes, while shepherds sleep out in the open. parents would rather see their children marry bakers than shepherds." Go figure.
