was recommended to my via the web..so I read it

is an easy read, but as short book, mine is less than 100 pages

" ..Coelho wrote The Alchemist in only two weeks in 1987.

He explained he was able to write at this pace because the story was "already written in [his] soul.(wiki)

..and that explains many things, Had I not known that,

I suspect it would be from a stoner on Toke and Talk

score: 4/10

........snip....
BB if you liked that read Good Calories Bad Calories by Gary Taubes. It's a meta analysis of the extant science of nutrition following the money. Independent researchers even found the smoking gun proving it's truth in a basement at Harvard! It turns nutritional science on it's head.

I'm about halfway through and it's been pretty good so far. I actually lost track of time when I first started reading it and stayed up much later than I normally do. Which is a pretty good sign.
