"I've been in love before. It's like a narcotic. At first it brings the euphoria of complete surrender. The next day, you want more. You're not addicted yet, but you like the sensation, and you think you can still control things. You think about the person you love for two minutes, and forget them for three hours.But then you get used to that person, and you begin to be completely dependent on them. Now you think about him for three hours and forget him for two minutes. If he's not there,you feel like an addict who can't get a fix. And just as addicts steal and humiliate themselves to get what they need, you're willing to do anything for love."


A nice quote from the book.

By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept by Paulo Coelho


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book has a lot of lessons to teach about love, courage and suffering. I think Paulo Coelho's books have always been about the search for true religion, love and women anyway. I applaud him for writing this book in a way that's not archaic. In this story, although love and religion did not primarily intertwine the end of it all is that divine love will always prevail. The sole thing that I didn't like about this book however is that it preached too much. (bah! talk about religion)so for nonbelievers, it is not advisable for you to read this book. ^+^
