The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
From Library Journal
" 'In order to find the treasure, you will have to follow the omens. God has prepared a path for everyone to follow. You just have to read the omens that he left for you.' Before the boy could reply, a butterfly appeared and fluttered between him and the old man. He remembered something his grandfather had once told him: that butterflies were a good omen. Like crickets, and like expectations; like lizards and four-leaf clovers." The boy is Santiago, a Spanish shepherd who wants to fulfill his dream of seeing the world. When he meets some people who tell him that he will find his treasure near the Pyramids, he decides to take the risk and sheds his old life like a snake shedding skin. The boy's journey and metamorphosis are subjects of the tale. The book is peopled with gypsies, old men, kings, warriors, desert-dwellers, and an alchemist, who describes Santiago's fate if he decides to settle for less than his dream. Destiny conspires with ambition to move him to realize his potential. A familiar theme in a New Age package.

As an older reader, I have read many many good books any one of which would be a worthwhile read, however, one book stands out above all others as the most captivating book I have ever read. It was " the Citadel " by A.J.Cronin, Try it !

1984 George Orwell and Sofie's World by some Scandinavian writer
also the story about a summer with Jim Morrison by Craig Kee Streete but I don't know the English title, sorry but the last one is the best!
As well Sidartha by Herman Hesse if you like a classic book.

Tyreek, if you enjoyed Da Vinci then you HAVE to read all the rest of his books! Da Vinci is his least good book!
