That quote is so insulting to human intelligence.

This. Too many women like this book for it to be good.

I'm OP and I'm telling you it's awful. You can tell by that quote. It's the literary equivalent of whispering sweet nothings into someone's ear. Post your own examples.

Mein Gott
Just when I was starting to succumb to the "there is no objective truth" bandwagon
I don't think I've ever read something more clearly wrong in my life
>tfw the only guy I know who reads is a big Coelho fan

I unironically enjoyed this book. I don't remeber it's plot and i thought it's message was retarded as hell, but the world it portrayed was comfy

Coelho wrote The Alchemist in only two weeks in 1987. He explained he was able to write at this pace because the story was "already written in [his] soul."

I listened to the audiobook of this back when I was twelve. Liked it at the time. Please don't ruin the memory for me.

idk how but people actually find this interesting and praise it. I have a friend that is significantly more read than most of the people I've met, and this is actually his favourite book.

Also, same type of girls love Crime and Punishment. I've seen some who post themselves on Facebook reading it.

I was in similar situation until few weeks ago. Then I met a guy who has read a fair amount of books, not quite the same taste as me, but he has read all the Dostoevsky novels.
