The Alchemist - Inspiring & Must Read

As usual I ran out of books, so again ordered Paulo Coelho's 2 books on Wednesday and got them delivered on Friday. And today, Saturday, I have completed one book :D

I started with "The Alchemist". When I was done with the Prologue, I was wondering why I wasnt interested in reading this book earlier ???? And when I completed the book today evening, I realized that I have chosen books or the books have chosen me when I need them the most and here I mean the books which have remained with me (not necessarily a physical presence) and which have made an impact on me.

I am a staunch believer of the fact (or belief) that "everything happens for a reason". This book happened to me now, when I needed a boost to my beliefs and a boost to my confidence. It is a simple story told in a beautiful way, reiterating facts. The best part of the book was the final paragraph. When Santiago, gets up and laughs, trust me, I laughed with him too, additionally punching my fist in the air :D

What does this book say ? Well, it tells us what we already know, but we dont want to believe in it!! or rather fail to even listen to it , which is way too convenient because we wouldnt be confused or even depressed that we arent trying.

I am not going to say much about the book or the story. But anyone who is spiritually inclined and who like stories should definitely read this book. It is also for people who need a boost (of their confidence, of their beliefs , of themselves)...

Must Read!!!!!
