Blake Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 [i][/i]So, after a year of depressing stories such as [i]A Streetcar Named Desire[/i], [i]The Stranger[/i], [i]The Awakening[/i], [i]Death of a Salesman[/i], and more, we had to read [i]The Alchemist[/i] as the last bok this year. I went into it skeptical, wondering if I was going to see Homuculi, the Elixir of Life, and the Philosopher's Stone. I did see the latter two, and was please at the lack of homunculi. The book as a whole is easily one of my favorite texts ever, greatly passing my expectations. Caused me to reflect on life a lot, and gave me a bit of a new lease. Discuss.

Yang Xiao-Long Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 The last time I read this book was for a 7th or 8th grade independent reading assignment. Back then, I hated reading, but when I picked up [u]The Alchemist[/u], I actually liked the story and overall initial impact of it. I think I'll read it again. Thanks for bringing up this topic, Zetsubou^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
