The Alchemist....added to my Amazon book picks now. I will try to read it this summer. Judging by the description imho it seems to have a few things in common with "The Life of Pi"....which I STRONGLY recommend.

Dude i saw Pi, and i can't say that i didn't like it, but i didn't enjoy it that much either. It's weird, and to be honest with you i did not get it at all.

 

[Defender]

[EMA]

ALL goosebumps..hehe

and right now i'm reading the DaVinci Code...pretty good so far...any of ya'll read it yet?
I wanna read it before the movie comes out

 

[Defender]

I read davinci when it was released...it was ok. It was a quick read for me.

 

[Deviant]

I'm reading Angels and Demons and it's a great book. It's the prequel to the Da Vinchi Code and I've been told Angels and Demons is a better book. I plan on reading the Da Vinchi Code after I finish A and D, which will be in about 3 days.
