If you’ve been following my blog or have read more than a few articles on here, then you may know that I’m not one for biographies or memoirs. The number of biographies/memoirs I’ve read to date is probably less than five. However, sometimes, I come across a memoir or autobiography so intriguing that I can’t…
The Pilgrimage (O Diario Un Mago), which is Paulo Coelho‘s first official novel published in 1987, describes his personal journey along the El Camino de Santiago or the Way of St. James.

First of all, let me start by saying that this is my 100th book review and 200th post in general (what?! I have an extra 100 posts on here that aren’t about books?!?)!

November 16, 2011 Dear friend, I just finished reading this book called The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. It’s a pretty short book, so it didn’t take too long to read. Add to the fact that though I had a paperback copy in my bag, I read an e-book version at work,…
