On my flight between Stockholm and Bangkok (9 hours) I picked up one of the books I bought at the airport, The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. I usually finds many of the "new classics" a bit overrated but I have thought about reading it for a while. I ended up reading the book from cover to cover without even looking away. I even had to go the the bathroom for the last 120 pages, but decided to wait because I just had to read more. The book was fantastic, absolutely one of the best I have ever read. I just can't wait to read it again.
