The Alchemist is my favorite book of all times. It was first recommended to me by a friend. I enjoyed the valuable lessons it thought me about myself. After shopping around on the internet, Overstock turned out to be the most affordable that I was able to purchase 4 more copies; 1 for my boyfriend, 1 each for my two closest girlfriends, and 1 for my brother. This book is a must read, heck it should be a part of your personal library. I guarantee you will love it, and your family and friends will love it too.
