A Gift to Share

My friend, G, told me about this book he's currently reading; Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. It was engaging. And eventhough I have not read the book yet, we had a discussion on it. It was interesting. Very.

So today, I look Mr Coelho up on the internet. And found. I shall paste here an excerpt from the book, and let you figure out if it'll worth your time to read it.

"I weep for Narcissus, but I never noticed that Narcissus was beautiful. I weep because, each time he knelt beside my banks, I could see, in the depths of his eyes, my own beauty reflected."

Visit his official website. There are some downloads you might find... useful. Look for Stories for parents, children and grandchildren.

I, myself, will go to the bookstore tomorrow, and look him up.
