With the internship coming to an end you will find an increasing number of blogs about what people did during their internships for fun. Well among other things I read a couple of books. Dont get me wrong these books rock and werent just to kill off time.
There were three books of Paulo Coelho who I rather find fascinating as an author. His writing style is quite philosophical and it causes the reader to review his own life. So its a book that'll keep you thinking for hours and hours. Its a pity rather that people have no time for their own psychological development in todays busy world. My favourite book written by him was "Veronika decides to die", its about a young girl who decides to take her life because she thinks she has experienced everything life's had to offer. But her suicide attempt has failed and she is admitted in the asylum where she realizes that she has very little time to live. Paulo Coelho carefully analyses the world then from her perspective.
Another of his works was "The Alchemist", this is a classic title that even my grandfather had read quite a while ago, but which I enjoyed nevertheless. Its about a boy in persuit of his dream(something that no one gives a damn to anymore).
"By the river Piedra I sat down and wept" is a book about a young girl who writes about her lover. (Good book but the first two were better)
I am however looking forward to reading his new book, "The Zephyr". For those who didnt know Paulo Coelho is a Brizilian with most of his works translated from brizilian into other languages. He has won the Nobel Book Award for "The Alchemist". And I hope you enjoy reading his books as much as I did.
The other author is a far more recent Dan Brown. You will find reviews of his books extensively on amazon.com. He's an excellent author who disperses a lot of information about symbology, science and a whole lot of other stuff to his readers without making them actually aware. I love his writing style too and he is an excellent writer. From among his books I like "Deception Point", "Digital Fortress" and "Da Vinci Code". Ironically I lost "Angels and Demons" on Daewoo.
Other than that I read some Sydney Sheldon, and I guess that's all folks.

I loved his Alchemist. I have 'The Zahir' (the new book) with me which I bought from India. Its a nice book but I lost interest because it became pretty creepy... I mean the ENERGY... he has stretched it quite a lot! No doubt, the short stories and philosophical ideas are extremely profound.
aoa,
