The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

QPBC pick: poetic, prophetic. They claimed it would change my life but I’ve not seen that sort of epiphany as of yet. I’ll keep you posted.

It’s the end of July ’07 and I drug my semi-conscious self through this one. To me, this book is kind of akin to the bible, in the sense that, you really have to read a couple of pages or a chapter alongside someone else and then discuss it. It’s not a book that you read cover to cover and expect to retain all of the philosophical undertones that are trying to surface; the story is not the purpose. I hope I’m interpreting that correctly, not much of a philosopher unless I have a couple of beers in me. 🙂 If one of you would like to borrow it, read it, and discuss it…..let me know…..I’m game.
