Recently I finished reading the famous book of Paulo Coelho, called the Alchemist. It was so popular and appeared on so many places I just wanted to try it.

I didn’t quite love it. I mean, it was okay, but I expected something special from a bestseller like this. Well, it was somewhat too long (although it isn’t long at all compared to some other books) and too religious for me, although there are some good points made there. Rephrasing the main idea, “everybody should go for their dream”. Certainly, there is a hell lot of truth in it. I’m not sure if I needed a whole book to think about that. But yeah, many people need the nudge and the book should do it. There are also a lot of other ideas covered on the book, but I won’t just go into details now…

And on a different note, I noticed I read too little. Yeah, I’ve been reading several books in the last month or so but that’s all there is to it. I guess I should go on a spree sometime and catch up with all the most popular (therefore maybe the best)/classical literature I haven’t read. Yeah, there is so much of it but one has to do it sometime… ;)
