Wow. I know we got together to talk about this wonderful book. I can't place where the meeting was held. Was it Rhona's?
This is the next highly anticipated movie from our book club picks. =)

The Alchemist 7/19/06 THIRD ANNIVERSARY
At Jane Gorton's home.
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
This was such a good book. I thoroughly enjoyed Santiago's search for his destiny. . . "the journey we all take to find the most meaningful treasures in our lives into steps that are at once natural and magical. It is about the faith, power, and courage we all have within us to pursue the intricate path of a Personal Legend, a path charted by the mysterious magnet of destiny but obscured by distractions. Santiago shows how along the way we learn to trust our hearts, read the seemingly inconspicuous signs, and understand that as we look to fulfill a dream, it looks to find us just the same, if we let it." ~ Reading Group Guides
AND this is scheduled for a movie in 2010....**update** still waiting... maybe 2014?
