Alchemist; Once again

During the last week, I read the most appreciated novel by Paulo Coelho, once again. Mind you, it is one such book that is so simple yet filled with so many of life's teachings.
Generally, people associate books with great learning and most people who are not too book savvy, generally do not look at books as fun. The Alchemist, is a truly simple book on par with the simplicity of teachings like 'learning from the ants'.
The most likable feature of the story-line is that it does not teach some complex ideas but the truth in 'believing in your dreams and trying to realize it'.
Well, movie lovers will find that the popular dialogue from the movie: Om Shanti Om; where Shahrukh Khan gives a speech when he is drunk "When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to acheive it" is from this very book.
If you haven't yet read this simply beautiful book, it is a MUST READ!!!!
