“The Alchemist presents a simple fable, based on simple truths and places it in a highly unique situation.” –Amazon.com Review

Most of the time, when something is good, we want to keep it all to ourselves.  Every once in a while, something comes along SO GREAT, we MUST share it.  I have to share this with YOU, faithful blog reader.

“My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer,” the boy confides to the alchemist one night as they look up at a moonless sky.

“Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself,” the alchemist replies. “And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second’s encounter with God and with eternity.”

–WHOA.

This is the best book I’ve ever read.  The best part about it is, YOU can buy this book used on Amazon for under $3.

No, wait.

The best part about it is, its being made into a MOVIE, and LAURENCE FISHBURNE is directing and playing the part of The Alchemist.  I feel like a 5 year old girl on Christmas morning who just unwrapped a big ass plastic kitchen set.
