Paulo Coelho Appreciation vol. This man changed my life

[theroyalairness27]

I'm sure most of you guys know who he is. I just recently bought a bunch of his books, and my goal is to read all of them one after another to get a full understanding of his work. I just got done with The Zahir, and i'm reading The Alchemist right now. 

What book do you guys think I should read next?

Also, after reading his books all other books don't seem as intriguing  as Paulo's books.

Discuss his books here

Professor Quamé at UC Berkeley put my on The Alchemist. Definitely one of the best books I have ever read. I will look into some of his other work. What do you suggest OP?

If you have the "Plus" version of The Alchemist, there is a tree of books, and I'm following that. If you have ever loved and lost someone i strongly recommend The Zahir.

Synopsis of The Alchemist?


I've never heard of this author. Does he write fiction? Nonfiction? Info?

 

[the notorious bum]

Paulo Coelho has some really good books I have yet to hear anything bad about any of his books

When you get to The Prophet, by Kahlil Gibran, your life will never be the same.

It's about a man who loses his wife, and pretty much becomes obsessed with her. It is all he thinks about for about 2 years. He meets the dude his wife ran away with, and the man teaches him about the energy of love. He then shows him where his wife is...

book is slow at hte beginning, but after about half way through the pages start flying by

He writes mostly fiction, even though he has a couple autobiographical pieces. His stories are usually about the magical aspects of life

"Language of the Universe," "Energy Of Love," but they things that are very easy to understand. HIs style is very free, with a lot of dialogue.

He holds the record for most translated book. (The Alchemist)

Recommend me a book Dirty. I would love to get into a good read. I haven't picked up a book for leisure in quite some time now.
