The Blinking Alchemist

Last week I finished two books, "Blink" and "The Alchemist". Two very highly acclaimed and very different books. Blink happens to be Malcom Gladwel's second book, his first one is the very famous "The Tipping Point". Still trying to get my hands on that one. The Alchemist is a story by Paulo Coelho. It was originally written in Portuguese and has been translated into over 20 languages.I'm not going to summarize either of the two books here, as both have hundreds of reviews available over the internet. But I am going to recommend both the books to anyone looking for good reading material. If you are into fiction, The Alchemist is just the right blend of story telling and telling the story of life:). For anyone who wants an insight into how people think/work/judge/taste/hear/talk/see/visualize/verbalize this books comes highly recommended.
