I read this one ages ago, think I quite liked it - it's reserved for someone special.

You're right -I'm in DC's area again, we were in Cleggy's bit but he obviously failed to keep people charmed. Wrong type of hair gel on the TV debates perhaps?!

Anyway, back to the book!

It was a lovely surprise to come home from meeting another bookcrosser in London for the day to two BC parcels....yours (jointly with waderwoman) was filled with lovely things including a sherbet dib-dab! Haven't had one for years.

The Alchmemist is a book I needed for my The Reading Group spiral so it will travelling lots in the future. Thank you very much!

I hope I can get this to the right person at the right time for the spiral! Thanks for passing this on to me

Journal Entry 9 by abigailann at Abingdon, Oxfordshire United Kingdom on Wednesday, October 12, 2011
Reading this book is like going on a spiritual journey. It makes you reconsider the world and how you should live within it. It makes you take another look at the approach you take to travel through your life. Alongside this philosophical discovery runs a simple yet mesmerising plot about a young shepherd boy undertaking his own journey. Delightful and magical, a true pleasure to read.

Journal Entry 15 by lucelastic at Ruddington, Nottinghamshire United Kingdom on Friday, September 7, 2012
I read this book a few years ago but had given my copy to a dear friend. I happened to stop by for a coffee in Ruddington a couple of weeks ago and came across this fantastic concept...the travelling book!

I believe books come to you...I'm going to read it again... and pass it on.
Thank you
