"When you dance, do you feel desire? Do you feel as if you were summoning up a greater energy? When you dance, are there moments when you cease to be yourself?”

"Reprogram yourself every minute of each day with thoughts that make you grow. When you're feeling irritated or confused, try to laugh at yourself. Laugh out loud at this woman tormented by doubts and anxieties, convinced that her problems are the most important thing in the world."

Another great read by a fantastic author. I have yet to be disappointed by Coelho. What was really cool about this book, was in the appendix, there was a chart on the "journey" that each of his books represent: temptation, faith, love, obsession, wisdom, etc. Definitely worth checking out.

hmmm... I'll have to think about this one.
Let's just say "Coming Soon" for now.

I'm not sure if I just wasn't in the mood for this one or what. I liked the writing style. It was a unique way to write a book - telling a story about a person from the perspective of the people who knew her. Unfortunately, I just found it repetitive. The plot was good, but I felt like I was reading some of the same paragraphs over and over again throughout the book. It could just be that I wasn't in the mood for a spiritual journey book.
