mmm, it didn't do too much for me either. it was a nice fast little read and it was interesting but definitely not life altering.. for me anyway.sleepydumpling wrote:I've read The Alchemist. I didn't get anything life changing from it myself, but it is a good story. Maybe I just wasn't in a place in my life to get something from it at the time?

In Russia, this is a cult book. It was written in the thirties, but not really published until the eighties, and then only on the black market. My mum says she spent a month's scholarship money on it when it first became available, and she does not even like the sort of books that don't have a dead body by the second page (her words, not mine).
Am I ranting?

Oh good, so it wasn't just me! I actually liked this book and would recommend it, but I was definately expecting more ... I feel as though the author was taking old "information" and attempting to make it seem new and eye-opening, but anyway ...knightss wrote:mmm, it didn't do too much for me either. it was a nice fast little read and it was interesting but definitely not life altering.. for me anyway.sleepydumpling wrote:I've read The Alchemist.

Now, I try not to re-read stuff since I have a TBR pile a mile high. But I still like to flip through my favorites and re-read certain parts that I've marked up with notes and underlines cause they're just so darn good =)
