Shitty author. If you want good Brazilian authors, look for Machado de Assis, Lima Barreto or Nelson Rodrigues

This book was suggested to me by a good friend, i gave it a shot but really didn't like it.
It was easy to read but felt pointless.... kismet, fate, in a fiction story where things are written a particular way just feels too forced.
Reminded me a lot of the whole Law of Attraction bs.

First half = based and redpilled
2nd half = cringe

I disliked how obvious he made his messages. Would've preferred subtle metaphor, probably would his message across more powerfully

Gonna go with Don Quixote and Ride the Tiger
Seems like a reasonable mix
Thanks bros
