That’s exactly what I feel when I read any of Paulo Coelho’s books ,they always inspire me to live with them and feel connected to them
Paulo Coelho is just Awesome in all ways!
My view to life has changed a lot since I started to read his books
Thank you a lot.
The first book I read by Paulo was “The Witch of Portobello”, I was hooked from then on, next came “11 Minutes” closely followed by “Brida”, “The Valerikies”, “The Pilgrimage”, “By The River Piedra I Sat Down & Wept”.
I have now waiting “The Fifth Mountain”, “The Alchemist” & “The Zahir”, I think it has to be “The Fifth Mountain”.
I am kind of wishing I had started at the first book written as I feel they have something which runs through all of them, they certainly make you think, I really get caught up in them, I sometimes put myself into the aspect of the person in the book, I think perhaps that is why The Pilgrimage effected me so much, it made me ask so many questions of myself, so much so that my friend told to not to look at it in such a way and just to look at is as a good read, yet I like to get into the bones of a book so to speak and feel the author is writting from his/her soul…..does that makes sense, I hope it does as it does to me, to me the author is putting a little bit of themselves into something they are producing thereby giving it life.
Love, Light & Blessings, to all who read this.
