Eggs
The Alchemist | Paulo Coelho
post image

These two novels - seem to either be loved or hated. Tried Alchemist x2 book, bailed. Listened to audio all of it - still don‘t like it. Read Catcher when I was young, did nothing for me. Read it a few years ago, do not LOVE, but understand it better with its unique format and premise.

Thoughts?

ChaoticMissAdventures I didn't read the Alchemist until my 20s, and by then I had spent my late teens traveling, had gotten married and lived in 2 states with my husband. I have always thought that I had more world experience than the MC and so the book felt trite. I have always believed that some books need to be read super early before I become jaded. 😂 5h
mrp27 I‘ve read Alchemist once, didn‘t like it and couldn‘t get into it. Read Catcher once as a teen and absolutely loved it. I want to reread but I‘m afraid an adult reread will spoil my love for it. 3h
BooksandCoffee4Me Reading is a personal experience like eating — we can share the experiences in community, sampling each other‘s choices, but we don‘t have to order the same things in order to enjoy the shared experiences. It‘s actually encouraging when I find someone else who didn‘t care for books that are very popular and on some “should read” list. @Eggs, I‘m with you on both of these. 9m

Thought I would go a little controversial today with some of my #Divisive books that people seem to either love or hate and I am firmly on the hate side for these 😝

squirrelbrain Hi Myra! Just thought I‘d let you know that the Backman didn‘t make it onto the camp longlist (due to publication date). Do you want to pick another one and tag me here so no-one else sees?! (The list is up to date now! 🤪) 4h
GatheringBooks @squirrelbrain awwww that‘s too bad! 😭😭😭 i was super looking forward to it. I vote for this one instead 3h
