This book isn't so much a work of fiction as it is a religious text or the modern equivalent: a spiritual self-help book. Yet, it never feels pedantic or proselytizing. When I first read it, I was working in a little coffee shop and going to school. I was so moved by the story and the message of finding peace and personal fulfillment, I gave it to a coworker. Equally moved, she gave it to another coworker. Before we knew it, the book had been passed around the whole shop. We decided we would all write a little note of encouragement and pass the book along to someone new with the caveat that everyone who read it had to write something inside the cover and give the book away when they were done. That's the kind of "pay-it-forward, we're all seven billion of us in this together" kind of thinking the story of The Alchemist inspires. I highly recommend it if you're needing a little encouragement of your own. And if you come across my original copy make sure to add a note of your own!
