The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho is hands down my favourite book, I first received a copy from a young man about 6 years ago, he said it would change me… It did.
I took this book on my trip around Europe 5 years ago and it kept me company along the way, I read it a total of four times, each time it was like reading a new book. When I was thinking about which book to take on my upcoming travels of South East Asia, I knew right away this would be one of them, for sentimental travel reasons and being such a great book. I will be tucking it into my bag this Saturday morning as I leave for the airport. I couldn’t find my original copy from 5 years ago so I purchased a new copy today :)
The boy said to me “why don’t you read a new book?” a simple answer “because I love this one”.
