I read every book two times. For the first time, I don't judge, but only feel thing the book normally let me feel. On the second time, I judge it with the eyes and ears of my own logics.

The Alchemist is a good read indeed. I read it in English. Due to translation, some literary value must be lost, but still it is amazing.

The Storytelling is really natural to Paulo Coehlo. It is also a good inventory of middle-eastern/Arabian philosophy which is compatible with todays Sufi Philosophy.

Though I am a non-believer and most of the theories here are obsolete to me, I can't deny that it was a real pleasure to read this book.


Pardon my English, I am not a native speaker.
