BB & Chilli - Definitely a 'must read' book. Pretty heavy going not something you would enjoy reading if your distracted imo. I highly recommend it, picked it up off a friends book shelf in my teens and it was the first novel I read that had some intense philosophical, ideal questioning life changing type messages in it. Before that I was reading alot of Uris, Mitchener etc Perec showed me a book can make you think not just be a story. Couldn't even explain the storyline to you if you asked me to but could tell you the underlying message.

Tried reading it again a few years ago but wasn't in the right frame of mind and just couldn't get through the first few chapters.
 
Brick, my friends say the same thing. Intense, complex & challenging to get through, but worth it :)

I have planned to read it for many years. In Paris I had an original, written in french, which I still have somewhere, but I realised two chapters in, it was going to be a HARD slog in a second language lol

Have you read The Alchemist? By The River Piedra I Sat Down & Wept? Both Paulo Coehlo, both incredible books, I promise :)
 
I can't read books that are figments of some ones imagination.

I like real stuff.
I need to be shocked.

Will give them both a try. I plow through books at a rate of knots. I am a savage speed reader.........My misuss will read something over my shoulder and I will finish it in 1/3 of the time, she used to accuse me of skimming through, stopped doing that when I started to paraphrase entire documents or quote novel paragraphs verbatim.

Probably why I did so poorly at school never learnt anything just remembered it, applied it in asessment and promptly forgot it.
 
lol

I'm a speed reader too Brick. Although I have the memory of an elephant, I forget NOTHING. lol

Its a blessing & a curse.

Get The Alchemist. You sir, will fall in love with it, I know you will :)
