What is your favourite Paulo Coelho book and why? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 94/100. pushkin69 (259)5 months ago

I have most of the books written by Paulo Coelho and love the stories he tells. They are magical and really make you delve into your own head. My favourite book is Veronica Decides to Die. The story is intriguing and raises many issues that I can relate to. What is your personal favourite? I am interested to know what you think of his works...

Hi pushkin69! Nice to meet another fans of Paulo Coelho books like you! I think he is brilliant! Everytime I read his novel, it makes me thing again about everything and I love his writing way! My favorite is "Alchemist". That book gives me courage to reach my dream and struggle to achieve it. Until now, whenever I feel down or wanna give up reaching my dreams, I will remember Alchemist. "..then tell your heart it will be more suffering if you never try" It's a phrase that I remember and affect me so much. I'm not sure my translation is right or not,,
The latest book I buy is "The Witch from Portobello". Do you know his new books?

Hi! It is great to hear that you get so much from reading his books,that is the beauty of letting yourself be taken on a journey such as in the Alchemist. It is one of those books that can withstand time and I think will be a classic for many years to come. I am currently reading The Zahir and am thoroughly gripped by the obsession and passion to exudes. Have you also read this one? I have not read every book yet, but I will get there!

Yes, I have read The Zahir too, and your favorite, Veronica Decided to Die.. I like his novels, it makes my imagination live and seems like it bring me to another world with different way and many things to be thought again.. I haven't read all his book too,so I would feel very glad if we can share each other about his novels..
Tell me if you read another Paulo's book and let's we share togetherlol

I love, The Alchemist, because it's magical, full of wonder and hope. I'd learned a lot from it and somehow in some instances I'd able to relate. And it has taken me a long time to finished reading on it, because every word has a an exceptional meaning.


myLot reputation of 94/100. pushkin69 (259)  5 months ago

Yes it really does make you feel that all is posible and gives you the strength and motivtion to keep going even when life is hard. It is a book that you can read over and over and will be a classic tale for many years to come!

I love all his books, but what I like the most is The Devil and Miss Prym. It talks about temptations and I love the flow of the story.


myLot reputation of 94/100. pushkin69 (259)  5 months ago

It is a book I have not read yet. It is something I am looking forward to reading!


myLot reputation of 99/100. ChrysanTflower (1149)   ranked 4,308 out of 10,326 in reading  5 months ago

That one is good and I feel little scared while reading it,, especially when Miss Prym go into the forest and about the old woman who talked to her husband.. It really makes me scared when that old woman will be shot to death.. I remember that one and I love the ending!lol

The Fifth Mountain
I liked actually the Fifth Mountain most ... but actually I feel ... that it would make a lot of sense if the reader tries to read about The Prophet Elijah in the bible so that he may understand more the person's history and the surrounding circumstances at that age ...
Also some notes about the history of Israel and the kings rules God's people at that age ... the neighboring people and the political relations between them and Israel ... Babel,Phoenicia, etc. ...
I think the Bible and the Bible's Dictionary would really make you understand more about that person, that age and How did God touched His people ...
I feel Paulo Coelho has managed for an amazing imagination for that period in Elijah's life although not mentioned specifically in the Bible ...
