In The Alchemist, Coelho turns ink and paper into gold. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. I hope that each of us find our treasure.

Kikazu is right, the correct name is PAULO COELHO is a Brazilian author (they speak Portuguese, you know). "Pablo" is a Spanish version for "Paul" and "Coelho" means something like rabbit or bunny.

Yep....Paulo Coelho's really famous for many of his books and they're based on spiritism. My mom has all of them. I've read "11 minutes" in portuguese.

Mr. Paulo Coelho's "The Alchemist" re-sparked my mind, and touched somewhere,tapping into a part of me, which I so needed awakened. Me reading it, was no mistake. No one would believe how it aligned to what was going on around me and how it "predicted" where I was going to venture.I question its true significance, but I know it is OF great significance. I've also read "Fifth Mountain" on Faith. Never had a favorite author or book. Never saw myself buying books for people b/c I never cared to impress my choosings on others (Would they like it? Would it be worth it?) Now I could care less the answers to these questions...because I have faith in the power of words...his words (which I feel were guided by someone/somewhere much higher. He speaks from a place--a place I feel we all aim for, but whose path we do not look forward. He is obviously blessed...and his books have thus far been a blessing to me. :)

It was a good book, simple...and yet, at the heart of the simple and very common tale, the story evolves into a magical story.

Sorry to be a grudge but if I were you I'd pick up any book of Plato and take it from there. The alchemist is classic philosophy washed out one too many times.
Then again, reading is a very private matter and the Alchemist have touched a lot of people and I do not want to diminish that. I just find it sad that not more people seem to want to experience the original work of art rather than listening/watching/reading the cover work.
