Finished reading Paulo Coelho's The Pilgrimage.
I would say that I use this book to brainwash the previous Da Vinci's Code. My first experience with Coelho's work in Alchemist has been most refreshing in the Christian light because he used so many illustrations from the Bible text. This second book, though, has made me more cautious. Or perhaps it is because after reading Dan Brown's work, one is not so gullible as to take in whatever is written. Anyway, the Tradition, as Coelho speaks of, does not seem to be of Christian origin. And the use of RAM... hmm, now there is something written in Da Vinci's Code about what Ram stands more. The God of fertility. Heh hehh.. Am I now on a mission to crack a code within Coelho's work? By far, no..! Still the book is quite an enjoyable one. Now, to digest a Thomas Hardy's Tess of d'Ubervilles. Perhaps that is a better solution to wash off the aftertaste of too many supernatural text. posted by lil piggie at 4:12 PM
