I was expecting a story or stories similar to The Alchemist. But this is a collection of fables originally written for a daily newspaper column. Religious. Not for me.
User Profile
I’ll read almost anything from any genre if the story or topic sounds interesting.
Mostly enjoy fantasy, history of all kinds, science, science fiction, self-improvement (time management, note-taking, etc.), technology and especially love books about the history of books, printing, languages, and the anthropology behind them.
I often write scripts that run on Macs and like to include interesting quotes from what I read as Easter eggs.
“I’m not so sure he’s mad, Father. Just a little devious in his sanity.”
