A Late Friday Evening
I walked in straight direct to where I found it last time.. I grabbed it, waited a couple of minutes for someone to leave so that I could sit on .. actually in!.. one of the cozy coaches instead of the wooden uncomfortable chairs.. & only then I was totally taken to the deepest and most inner caves of the hidden “me”.. he always succeeds in doing that; in taking me far away from everyone & everything around me.. “The Zahir” is another amazing, breath taking adventure.. I haven’t bought the book YET but I will, eventually.. now I am enjoying those stolen precious hours in the middle of a hectic busy crazy day when I sneak out of that cubicle space where I spend most of my week.. those are my secret private wonderful hours at “Barnes and Noble”.. I was roaming between
When it was time for me to leave I marked the page, closed the book & realized the smile drawn on my face.. I do believe that only the good writer is the one who manages to create a personal intimate relation with her/his readers and that is the way it goes with Paulo Coelho.. while reading any of his books I really want to be his only fan till I finish it then & only then I would tell everyone I meet about him & about the book.
I left that beautiful place filled with different people, diverse colors & races, various tongs & languages, covering all age ranges.. I wished the three medicine students so immersed in their thick books & sophisticated discussion, the cool guy indulged in his “magazine”.. u know!! & another serious looking young man wearing his glasses on his forehead busy surfing the political dull book in his hand I wished them all a good night, stepped outside still hearing the echo of the magical music and reciting those lines which I couldn’t resist writing down:
“when I had nothing more to lose, I was given everything, when I ceased to be who I am, I found myself.. when I experienced humiliation & yet kept walking I understood that I was free to choose my destiny…”
Good night..

Hi, I was just surfing around and found your page!
Very cool,I didn't know you could find all this interesting stuff.
If you are interested, go see my buy a pocketbike related site.
It isnt anything special but you might still find something of interest or fun.
Branes & Noble. My sister never let me enter that place, she feared for my health. I am addicted to books, when I see a book I haven't read yet I am enveloped in both curiousity and shame. Imagine how it's like walking into a book store for me, it physically pains me.
you wont believe it but i enjoy walking between the aisles of books i love the smell, the peace & tranquility & sometimes the mystery behind each & every book
& i also enjoy the coffee & music at Barnes & Noble :D
so just come with me :) i will talk to your sister ;)
God Bless
The damage is done Petra. I no longer have access to Barnes & Noble's miracles. But here's an idea, if we ever meet up, let's make it in a bookshop!
Books are such wonderful things,aren't they? I'm glad you share my passion for them.
Hi! Got here through African Doctor's Photo blog.
I was attracted to this entry because of "The Zahir" (and because I can only read english).. I've been waiting for the book to be published in our country but it haven't reached us yet.
You enjoy reading? Cool. Enjoy.
