oh my gosh. the alchemist was like my #1 addiction a few years ago. i’m glad you got around to reading it as well! i think coelho is awesome. you should check out ‘the zahir’ by him also..
there is so much food for thought in his books, especially when you’re just ready to open your mind and breathe! lol anyways, i’m glad you liked the alchemist!!
Re: What are you reading?
Halo book series. Its awesome.
Re: What are you reading?
Just read within the past two weeks:
The Appeal by John Grisham
Playing for Pizza by Grisham
(both were a waste of time)
Three cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and Relin (Excellent, excellent book).
The kite runner by Khalid Hosseni (i think i am probably the last person to read it on GS) but awesome book.
Next on the list is a Thousand Splendid Sons by Hosseni as well InshaAllah.
Re: What are you reading?
"Chronicles of a death foretold" By Gabriel Marquez - excellent latino atmosphere and I love his incorporation of Magic Realism....it's about an honour killing by the way...
Re: What are you reading?
i was reading Eclips the sequal to New moon and Twilight
Re: What are you reading?
Currently reading "Dress your family in corduroy and denim" by David Sedaris.
I am almost done, and do highly recommend it.
LOVED IT. There are a few books i have; which i love to keep with me since i believe they did play a role in shaping my life somehow. Alchemist is one of them. Such a precise lovely thought. I still regret being so late in reading it.
Re: What are you reading?
Has anyone noticed that the recent Grisham books are so Boring and Dull unlike his first ten books. :(
Anyone read The Crystal Skull by Manda Scott. Im going to start reading it next week.

:D well then i'm glad you LOVED it!! i think its so amazing how his words speak to everyone, not just to the story characters. and once you're done and the book is back on the shelf, some words sort of stay with you...like they've left an impact on you :) i lovve that feeling!
tell us about some more books that have 'shaped your life'...i want to see how many of them i've read, and what sorta books they are.
I just finished The Pakistani Bride. its really good. im goign to try to read all of her books, shes a pakistani Parsi author. Its abt the tribal ppl living in karakoram mountains.
ok

.
Then lets start a separate thread on the book and share what we liked most and what moved us most about the book; so that those who havent got to read the book as yet, may have a gist of what actually has made us and many others the fond and fan of the book :)
that’s a good idea! go for it! i dont think i can contribute much off the top of my head. i read ‘the alchemist’ about 4 years ago…i’ll have to go digging in my journals to see what parts of it ‘moved’ me, and ‘shaped’ me 
i just remember that after i finished reading it, i sat there and sorta hugged the book because to my young mind, it had done wonders of intellect!
