The Alchemist, by Paul Coelho

I know I say this about all the books I read but this is definetly a must-read book. Paul Coelho is absolutly amazing and I think he may just have become my favourite author.
Paul Coelho attempts to teach us all that he has learned about life,the universe, alchemy, spirituality through a very simple fable. He is obviously a man who has lived and contemplated life a lot. This story, although simple, holds, I believe, the key to the mysteries of life and it is a book that I am going to have to read again and again to fully understand what its lessons are. the book is deeply symbolic and i believe its message is one of hope and postitivity and following ones heart.
This book is great and i would strongly recommend it. It has definetly stirred something in me and i can promise that i am going to be reading a lot more of his books because i think that Paul Coelho has a lot to teach me.
