The Alchemist

Long time since I had read a good novel. It is very different from what I am used to, its probably because I don't read much of fantasy. It is about following ones dreams.
It is an inspiring fantasy novel. It is an entertainer with an interesting message. No wonder it is a terrific seller.
Message is follow your dream, there will be up and downs. It about the journey and not just the end. In the end one has lead a richer life with experience. What appeals is the simplicity and the
message it reinforces without being preachy.
Its about a Shepard who dreams of finding treasure near the Pyramids. It is about his journey, he loses everything thrice. He is tempted to stop because he finds love, money, but he still pursues his dream.
Hope to catch on Paulo Coelho more.
