Hi Stuart,
Sorry, I'm still getting used to Wattpad and didn't notice your message until now, else I would have written back sooner.
I haven't read any Paulo Coelho, though I sat in once on a book club discussion of The Alchemist. I'm afraid his work may be a little bit too allegorical for me. I tend to like fiction that's more concrete--that's not quite the word I'm looking for. Maybe just less abstract. Is he a favorite author of yours?
