The Alchemist
Author : Paulo CoelhoRecommended to me by: Nisha
This is my fav book. This is one book everyone should read. Do I say that for every book? :):) But no this is one book really everyone should read. This is not about current affairs or some novel or anything. It is about life. It is about achieving ur dreams.
Book talks about a journey of a young guy achieving his dreams. What he learns on his way. Author talks about omen's. God gives you hints at every stage of your life it is you who has to pick them up and proceed in your life. It tell you about
Truths and omens come and go like grains of sand and desert winds in this Celestine Prophecy-like tale of our alchemical kinship with one another in mind and spirit. It teaches us about our inherited strengths, which many of us sadly fail to realize as we go through life.
It is a very simple and good read. You will be able to read it in just few days. I will recommend this to everyone of u. So do read and tell me if you liked it...
Enjoy.

Alchemist is a personal favourite.
It is one of those books which can change the way one thinks about life.
This is one such.
Read Siddhartha by Herman Hesse, if you can get it.

wow...nice choice of books id say...
I dint like Good to Great as much as built to last...maybe because it was easier to relate to the companies in the latter...

I too loved this one .. it was great
Freakonomics is awesome too. the questions he asks and the relation he shows among things wich seem so unrelated is just super.

Hi Arti,
Yes I surely do remember that comment and I still stand by that. I really don't like reading books. But I read one off once a year or something.:) That too the stuff that is more related to my job or MBA or something thta someone really really recommends.
I guess my fav non business related read was Alchemist. It is a great book.

I read The Alchemist finally, and I must say I loved it. Simple and inspiring. At the end of the book there was a section with certain questions under discussions and I am wondering where I can find answers/discussions pertaining to those questions. It's a section meant to help us critically think about the novel, and I think that was a great addition to the story.
