Ender's Game for school. It's really not that great, but it's one of my friends favorite books ever. I can't see how he likes it...

Her autobiography. I have come to the conclusion that Patty Hearst was a spoiled rich kid and a complete pussy. =P

Sweet, I had a feeling you read them, too. I had a hard time getting through Sacred Journey (the 3rd one), but perhaps I'll give it another chance.

I thought it was going to be a struggle but it's actually fairly gripping.

The Alchemist- by Paulo Coelho

What's that book about?

Fruitonica · 05-17-2009, 09:39 AM

Well, I'm actually not that far in, so any number of wild twists could ensue from this point.

It centres on three Russian brothers and their absurdly vile father, who is later murdered by one of them, I'm speculating for inheritance. Probably the strongest theme running through it is the nature of faith, sparked by the different religious views of the brothers.

That was a piss poor summary but I can't do much better at this point.
