Me and my s/o agreed to start reading. I’ve never been much of a reader and have always been the “I’ll wait til it comes out as a movie” type of guy. But I just finished reading the alchemist and I actually really enjoyed it. Do you all have book recommendations that are similar to the alchemist? Or a book for someone who isn’t that fond of reading?

The book is very different and much, much better.

It's a great book that's not too hard and not too long.

The alchemist is gay but you sound like a reddit cuckfaggot so I suppose it's only right that you liked it.

I don't really remember Alchemist (read it when I was like 10) but I guess Borges and Eco are kinda similar. Don't hold me to that, though.

Have you read Siege by James Mason?It's a light action-packed read and the best part is discussing it will make you sound like a super smart guy :^)

Try 'Papillon' by Henri Cherriere. One of my favorite books I read as a teenager and one that I still love.

Paulo coelho is a pretentious hack

You should read Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit, it's a very fun action packed novel.

You have to be a women to have enjoyed this. I have genuinely never met a man who has liked this book. This is not even a sexist remark I seriously think The Alchemist is peak "art hoe who has never read a book outside of highschool" core. Seriously every art hoe I've met goes gaga for this crap.
