Exactly...We can all come up with our own books. I have a lot of such ideas 😉

Impressive isn't it?? 😛
It was just a co-incidence I'd say... I stopped to do some work (for a change), and checked mid-way to see a post, so I abandoned the work to reply! It happens to me all the time... 😆

Well I got "Three cups of tea" and not "alchemist" 😃 waise bhi I don't regret buying books, I consider them "Collectors' Items" 😆

Alchemist toh already padh li...😊 Hope "Three cups of tea" is good. I read alchemist almost 4-5 yrs back...vaguealy remember that it made me feel "Whats wrong with this guy?", might skim through again once we our discussions start, hopefully my feeling might change 😆

I bought the audio book for it.
It seems more real when Someone reads it out to you.
When I am reading I sometimes skim through uncomfortable parts.
Don't have that escape while listening.

You know, somebody once told me that the writing style of the book is like a translation of the Quran... I don't know how true this is, but the style was definitely surreal (as the story was intended to be)... the only thing I didn't like was all the things that Coelho made his characters say to each other (all those things are repeated again and again and again in all his books...)

The three cups of tea Mohit ji,I only buy books.. I can't get online.

You couldn't DL the audio book?? 😕 I just found a few torrents for it... I think, I should also DL the book and start hearing it, because the way we seem to be discussing it, it is sure to be our next choice... 😛

Well I bought an audible package for Mr Veritas as a gift.
And we use it to get all the good books.

Try and see if you can get "the looming tower" in audio .I think it would be a little hard to find.

I didn't get a strong torrent for it, but if you are lucky you might be able to DL that as well---
Are you familiar with torrents, Smita ji??

I am ,but I try not use it that much, got trojan/rootkit infections the couple of times I did use it.
Even 4shared is not that safe .
And I have almost all the good security software.
The only safe way is to use a MAC.
