Beautiful quotations from his other books, which I have not read. I'm going to start move The Alchemist to the top of my stack now that I've read this little collection. Lovely. Inspiration.

Fun, crisp presentation of Coelho quotations organized by concept: love, chance, etc. A great gift, albeit to one's self.
