The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

JESUS!!! This book was the bomb! Dude seems to know a lot about the Bible, Muslims and of course Alchemy. Ending was a total shock but has a lot to do with spirituality and western philosophy. Let’s not forget fantasy and love! The ending… total shock. Meera hooked me up with it on Thursday and I finished it on Friday. CHAPEST! Oh but it does repeat A HELL OF A LOT! I think every one can relate to most of it though…  https://www.parasuniversal.com/2009/04/one-of-my-rules-from-the-alchemist-by-paulo-coelho/
