Looks like a great night. Coelho is fantastic! The Alchemist should be required reading for all.
Read a handful of his works and can honestly say it has made my life better. Eleven Minutes is another great one. A bit of a deviation in subject matter, but still the same self-reflective, philosophically exploratory quality that is a common theme among his works.
I've heard so much good things about that book, currently going to the bookstore and looking for a copy! Will upate you soon :-)
