what the fuck was the point of it? one of my professors told me to read it. why is it so popular among adults? it seems like a kids book with sunshine and roses and unicorns farting rainbows at the end of all days, and it is almost like someone told a modern day AI to write a kids book, using it's knowledge of story writing, from all the books in it's database. i am gonna start taking book suggestions from random people less seriously.
edit: talking about paulo coelho's the alchemist.
