The Alchemist

Posted in Book News by Elliott Back on March 9th, 2007. [Del.icio.us]

One book you absolutely have to read is Paul Coelho’s Portuguese masterpiece The Alchemist. At its core is simplicity, the urge to follow your own dreams wherever they might take you.

For just $12 at Amazon it’s an experience you’ll never quite forget, magic infused with naivete, curiosity and adventure.  Perhaps after reading it you’ll be motivated to leave your home, begin selling trinkets in a foreign country, optimize the business you work for, fall in love, fight a war, and return to home to live the “life ever after.”  If ever there were a movie candidate in a book, this would be one!
