I read the Alchemist in its original Portuguese version (I was born in Brazil) and Veronika Decides to Die in its English version.
From the 2 titles I pick The Alchemist. It's a wonderful metaphoric tale that will leave you with a feeling of wonder and enchantment. I did not the 2nd book. It was too dry and dark for my taste.
I have a friend who swears that The Pilgrimage is wonderful. But I haven't read that one yet.
Good luck!

Well, Paulo Coelho´s books are a special thing at my life. I don´t know the name of the books in english, but "O Zair" mixed my feelings. I thing you need read all...
Bye!

The Alchemest is wonderful. I haven't read any of his others though.

"The Alchemist" is the best book he's written... I also liked "Veronika decides to die"
