I read the alchemist once a upon a time and found it rather boring. I think I'm just prejudiced against inspirational books.. I feel it is impossible for them to not be cheesy. This reminds me of Veronika Decides to Die (LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL). I think I will post that soon. *sigh* sadly I just really don’t like the concept of Paul Coelho.
