June - The Zahir

[Molly]

Anyone reading The Zahir this month?? I just started last night, and am enjoying so far.

[Donna, The Pusher]

I am starting it next week! I will let you know my thoughts as I go along.

[Donna, The Pusher]

I love the hands!!!

[Donna, The Pusher]

How?? I have the iPhone teach me!!

[Molly]

Oh man - so far behind! This is more like a June/July book for me :)

[Colleen]

Molly I am way behind on my group reads; I just started this one today.

[Molly]

I finished today and really enjoyed the book. Another good one from Coelho. I love that his stories are so touching and intimate but also have bigger sweeping philosophical ideas too.

[Donna, The Pusher]

It is 3rd on my list! After Wedlock and my First reads win I will start it!

[Donna, The Pusher]

So far I am loving it. It is very close to his personal life. As I mentioned before, I won a copy of his bio before I read any of his books so now I can compare. He has such a way with words.

[Colleen]

Really, I may have to just buy his bio from amazon as you speak so highly of it. I am glad you are loving the book so far! He does have a way with words; as I said before if I had half his talent...

[Donna, The Pusher]

I keep thinking if I should put it up on Swap or not. I really liked it and I don't want to give it up! I let someone borrow it once and that wasn't so bad because I knew I would get it back LOL

[Colleen]

I am defs not putting mine up for swap. I really want a friend of mine to read it but I have lost books in the past by loaning them out so I am wary.

What part are you reading right now?

[Donna, The Pusher]

I just got to Ariadne's Thread. I am flying through this. I would have been done over the weekend but I actually got a sitter for Sat. night and me and the hubby went out!

[Colleen]

I flew through the book too, it's so amazing. Horray for going out, date nights are the best!

[Donna, The Pusher]

We had a curfew but still had fun LOL

[Colleen]

That's great, what did you guys do?

[Donna, The Pusher]

My bro in laws band was playing out on a pier/resturant so we hung around there for a bit.

[Colleen]

Nice, sounds like a fun date night!

I have read too many of Paulo Coelho's to get away with saying that I don't like his writing. But in my defense, I keep reading him because the topics he picks up to write on are really good & besides, his books aren't too taxing on my time. The Zahir, like the rest of his books is his typical over the top dose of self pity & drama. And I lived through it to tell you this. *smirk*

[Donna, The Pusher]

Well said!
