Lawl. I read like a chapter of it, think I or my girl still has a copy of it on the book shelf. Kinda thought it was boring though, think I started reading a Kerouac book instead.

Holy shit. It must have been boring.

Read it when I was a kid. I think it's one of the most overrated books ever, don't get me wrong it's got a nice message but it's like the Bible for some people.

Want to change the way you look at life? Throw that new age bull**** in the trash and buy "The Little Book That Beats The Market"

I read The Alchemist my junior year of high school. A very, very good read and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of reading it.

it sets up people with no mental resilience to expect to get all their dreams easy and then when they meet real world resistance they end up as emotional cripples. these books are the biggest fraud, taking advantage of people, so everybody thinks its easy to become wealthy and marry a supermodel, and its our fault for not doing it because its so easy. if you have no morals and want to sell your soul to satan it's easy

don't waste your time on this hipster crap, when I first saw this thread I thought it was about Ben Johnson's The Alchemist, read this instead, it's great literature like Shakespeare.

sign me up!!

I generally don't watch tv. I follow some series in my own time and may watch football when it's on but I don't lie on the couch watching TV.. I'd get any enjoyment from it.

I read a lot.
