The Alchemist

Assalam-o-alaykum w.w.!

Ahh! at last after some 4 months I have finally finished Paulo Coelho’s Alchemist“The Alchemist” … no no no … don’t take it as an act of my slow reading or specially of a person who run miles away from the books :P I finished Dan Brown’s each novel overnight :D

Oh, I’m not even blaming muhtarmi Paulo Sahib … ever since I’ve developed a state for novels this is the first time that some novel took so much time. When I was reading it, I liked it and when I was not I was not even picking up the book coz it looked boring :)  Anyways, “The Alchemist” is basically a book about a young shepherd, Santiago, who traveled from pastures of Spain in search of his treasure buried in Egyptian pyramids. In this journey, he meets many people who advise him forward in his life, towards his Personal Legend  

It’s a good novel to pass your time, if you are into some sweet fiction stories that may lead your soul. A well-written novel, in very simple English, that basically leads you to only one point:  

Listen to your hearts, it leads you places you can’t reach otherwise

Go for it, a good addition to your thoughts! 

Wassalam

P.S – 1: I dedicate this post to Ej bhai :P

P.S -2: Umema is not doing fine and was ill, May Allah bless her with health soon, Inshah Allah!

I guess Dan Brown Novels comes nothing near to what Paulo Coelho is capable of. I just love his novels.. Da Vinci disappointed me because it wasn’t that much good as it is hyped. I mean it was good but not excellend. Paulo Coelho’s sentences have such deep meanings to it that if you really read it for the sake of learning it will surely take time.

Happy Reading :)

@GH: hmmm what :)

@Raheel: Lolz … abb yah tu nainsafi hay na phir :) Well, Paulo writes philosophical fiction … and Dan brown writes suspense thriller sort of stories … so we cant actually eat them in same plate (yeah i’m a bit hungry :) so thinking of foood only) But yes you are rite (as they say customer is always right :D )

@Ejaz bhai: naiki aur pooch pooch :P

@Shirazi: Lolz thanks :)
