Like the flowing river

I like this author very much - Paulo Coelho, somewhere i find in his writing a spark that ignites you , a hope that gives you something to inspire about, a dream to relish.

This one is not a novel but a collections of his articles published across the time. It gives a insight to the evolution of master writer to a great writer. Most of the articles relates to his daily life happening. But some stand apart for their messages like 'the story of the pencil','the missing brick' , 'the story of manuel' ...etc.

While reading this one, i have made up some dreams to follow - like to have stroll across copacabana beach, window shop through the madrid streets and to learn one or two chopin sonatas - even though i don't know how to play a piano - :)

Only when one reads Paulo that we come to know there are so many things hidden in every sec of our life, and that most of the time we overlook them. He makes us realize the beauty of small things that makes this life really a happy journey. To give a message that resound the test of time in less than half a page - only this guy can do it and i don't know how he delivers it over and over again in this 232 paged book.

I liked it and moreover i think i will not forget one or two articles because if then what else does paulo coelho stand for ????
