I’d been hearing so much about The Alchemist and how great and profound this book was and how enlightening it was. I’ve read plenty of books. Some have made me laugh, cry, and even angry. Perhaps that was their sole purpose.. to erect some type of emotion, any emotion. I’ve even read a few books that have opened my eyes, filled my heart, and removed the limitations of my mind.
