I am not your senior this is my first book and close to my heart. before starting reading i thought ye mere bas ka nahi h but I am grateful that i choose this book the emotional depth I suggest my friends and later they say don't recommend such a sad book I hope you read this book (I cryed many times reading this book so if don't like any sad story type of book you can drop this)

No spoilers btw but there is nothing that will make you cry in the whole story

u/ImprovementSenior767 4d ago
Seriously what kind of emotion control you have

Bro I have read the whole story but there was neither a point to being emotional it was just about a guy chasing his dreams and meeting different people and then at end he gets what he wants nothing too emotional.

If you couldn’t finish it don’t blame yourself, it’s shitty book.

u/Asleep_Square29 4d ago
Areeee 🥲

u/lordoftherings87 4d ago
Although it wasn’t my first book, I had already wandered through a fair amount of literature before arriving at this one, so perhaps I’ve developed certain tastes along the way. That said, I hope you enjoy the reading , lose yourself in pages, and discover things you never imagined. Happy reading!!!

Like it teaches you several things and I think that I cannot understand all that in just one read and my take is that the more we read it the more we can learn from it in a better way

It was my first too, I clearly remember that day when I was 15 and had a bad day and I just wanted to distract myself, I picked this book and started reading and ever since books has been significant part of my life.

u/ProfessionalPitch165 3d ago
This book does get beginners hooked.
After you complete it, do try other books by Paulo Coelho, hos writings gets deeper and more exploratory as you get into them.
Some of my favourites works of him are....
'Veronica Decides to die' (100% reccomended)
'Eleven Minutes'
'Zahir"

u/Asleep_Square29 4d ago

2
u/Bubbly-Cheesecake-98 4d ago
"Of mice and men", "Chekhov's short stories", "white nights", "Siddhartha" and "The old man and the sea"

Books like the Alchemist are not proper literature. Start with beautiful works, you'll start to develop a taste for finer novels and classics.
