Humbly disagree. I found it pretentious to the extreme with very uninteresting writing and a ridiculous storyline required to construe a miserable and opinionative moral behind the book.

Usually a lot of spy/thriller/espionage stuff but that stuff is hard to come by these days.

Presently, Paulo Coelho - The Alchemist

Hi there I'm reading Ishmael right now. It's about the general consensus that humanity and the dominating culture of take what you can and don't look back, is doomed to continue existing unless is changes drastically... It is quite an eye opener, a bit depressing even.
Has anyone read it? Thoughts?

Have not read it but it is right about humanity and things are only bound to get worse...

Never heard of the two combined.

I'll probably end up giving up on Tristram Shandy 5 pages in, like I did last time I tried to tackle it, and reading MacBeth instead.

yeah no it's two different movies, connected since they both star steve coogan. i'd definitely recommend hamlet 2.

I love Marquez. ....Cholera was a great cozy read. , A Thousand Years of Solitude was even better IMO

Yeah, that's where I started, absolutely tremendous. Then since I didn't want to read his two "Masterpieces" in a row, decided to read his newest one, which I liked also, not in the same league though.
