I love reading so much.. I never read any Paulo Coelho works, not until last year. The Alchemist is the first Paulo Coelho's writing i read. I am such a fan of Sidney Sheldon so its been quiet a new shift or view when i read the book The Alchemist. In my view, the book has so much inspiring insights that a person could use in the course of his life. That time when i was reading that book, i was waiting for the result of my school application. I was hesitant if going back to school was the right decision to do. Upon reading the book i got so inspired to pursue dreams that are beyond our limits. Its been an ultimate dream for me to study abroad and continue learning. And now i am living that dream.. Has anyone read The Alchemist? Any turnpoint happend in your life after reading it? Share your thoughts about it.. =)

that book sounds very ineteresting, i would love to read it. I really need some motivation right now in my life as i am going through a phase that seems like there is no light ahead. i am still making hay while the sun shines and thank god i woke this morning to see a next day. good luck on trying to excel. you should share your story with others like yourself it will motivate them trust me.

The Alchemist is surely one of the best books I have read. It really motivates people and gives a message that you create your own destiny. With the hardships the boy took to follow his dreams everyone is motivated to work towards his or her goal to achieve it, no matter how hard it is?
