Aahhh I loved this book! Paulo Coelho is 100% my favorite author at this point. It's a good balance of philosophy, memoir, and adventure.

Read half in December and finally decided to pick it up again. It was good but a little bit hard to read because every sentence had to be a revelation. It was a little sad the way they parted but I do like it actually, that they helped each other grow but are not each other’s endings.

This was a reading experience. It gave me a bizarre nostalgia for something I've never even had - a glimpse into an era of pre-internet travel adventures, at a time when the counter-cultural hippie revolution was unfolding around the world.
