Paulo Coelho

Posted on 08/22/09, 04:17 am

New here and not really sure how it's all done but I thought I'd start with a few recommendations of my own. :)

I recently read two books by Paulo Coelho (author of "The Alchemist", which I have yet to read) that I really enjoyed. Easy to read and thought-inspiring...maybe not my top top favourites but definately worth a recommendation! :)

"Veronika decides to die" - Grabs you from the start... About how we all need a little bit of insanity in our lives to make our journey interesting.

"By the river Piedra I sat down and wept" - Beautiful...! About faith...and love.

Now I'm going to start reading Kay Redfield Jamisons "An Unquiet Mind".

Happy reading to you all!

  Erika,
  They both sounded like good books to me too. I have read the Alchemist and found it to be very inspiring. Much more than a kids book. I just finished reading a book titled "The Thirteenth Tale" by Diane Setterfield. I was about the deep bond between twins.

  I read the Alchemist and it was really a very good book. It was recommended by several friends and I was pleased with the whole meaning the book presented.

for all of us who love books and wish tom share names with others read or books you hear all are welcome
