lines from paulo coelho's zahir
"if pain must come, may it come quickly. because i have a life to live, and i need to live it i the best way possible. if he has to make a choice, my he make it now. then i will either wait for him or forget him. waiting is painful. forgetting is painful. but not knowing which to do is the worst kind of suffering"
--- and i do appreciate the honesty and telling me early on the truth..
here is another...
"until one morning i'll wake up and find myself thinking about something else and then i'll know the worst is over. my heart may be bruised, but it will recover and become capable of seeing the beauty of life once more! it happened before, it will happen again, im sure. when someone leaves, its because someone is about to arrive. i'll find love again!"
---hope this happens soon...
......

I finished reading The Alchemist a long time ago.
I have now two of Paulo's other masterpieces, The Devil and Miss Prym & By The River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept.
I am half-through with By The River Piedra, but, honestly, I felt BORED.
I don't know why. Maybe, it's Paulo's way of telling the story. It's just like I was reading The Alchemist again.
Does any of you here read Mitch Albom's books? I finished two of his books, The Five People You Meet In Heaven & For One More Day.
Great books!
thats exactly what im reading next from him ;-P

Paulo Coelho on Eleven Minutes
Try reading that!
Its beautifully written and will give you hope for love again. It talks about very controversal subject- the life of a prostitute. Her feels, thoughts and how she matures through her relationships, love and life.
Ps- Dear Mr. Censor- this subject must be allowed in Qatar because this book is sold in Jarir and Virgin Megastore. If this subject is too contraversial for QL- apologies in advance.
This is what Paulo says about his book:
How I came to write Eleven Minutes
During my lifetime, I have experienced sex in many different and contradictory ways. I was born into a conservative age, when virginity was the defining characteristic of any decent young woman. I witnessed the emergence of the contraceptive pill and of antibiotics, both indispensable for the sexual revolution that would follow. I plunged enthusiastically into the hippy era, when we went to the other extreme, with free love being practised at rock concerts. I now find myself in an age which is half-conservative, half-liberal, an age haunted by a new disease resistant to all antibiotics.
It is part of a writer's role to reflect on his or her own life, and writing a book about sexuality came to be a priority with me. I tried various approaches, but all failed. It was only when I met the prostitute who would provide the connecting thread for this novel that I realised: in order to write about sublime sex, I had to start with the fear that everything will go wrong.
Eleven Minutes does not set out to be a manual or a treatise about a man and a woman confronted by the unknown world of sexual relationships. It is an analysis of my own trajectory. It took me a long time to learn that the coming together of two bodies is more than a response to certain physical stimuli or to the survival instinct. Sex is a manifestation of a spiritual energy called love.
Sex means, above all, having the courage to experience your own paradoxes, individuality, and willingness to surrender. I wrote Eleven Minutes, in order to find out if, at this stage of life, at 55, I had the courage to learn everything that life has tried to teach me on the subject.
