I have heard quite positive things about The Alchemist. Like it's the book of his that is actually readable and that it's not a great book, but a nice fairy tale. So I thought that since I even had read "the DaVinci Code", I might as well read that Alchemist book. I mean, alchemy is cool and all...

Yeah, I read that book too. I actually liked it in the beginning but I started getting annoyed by repetitive phrases midway (it sort of started sounding more like a self-help book than story). And then at the end it was disappointing because you expect him to earn something more original and grand than money.

I love calling it Electra complex. It just sounds so cool.
