Nothing hurls a writer into stupidity more rapidly than the desire to be thought wise

Written by

Paulo Coelho writes because he wants to be loved. I read because I want to be interested. At this point it’s hard to say which of us is the more disappointed.

Jeg har lidd meg gjennom en Coelho-roman før og planlegger ikke å gjenta det, men Guardians anmeldelse av The Zahir er uansett en sann svir. (Takk til Eirik for tips.)

Jeg er faktisk glad i Coelho 🙂 Men jeg har ikke lest The Zahir.

Jeg overdrev da jeg sa at jeg led meg gjennom Elleve minutter — etter ei stund gikk den fra pinefull til morsom, men jeg tror ikke det var meninga.

Og det er for meg eksotisk, men jeg er jo klar over at noen millioner er uenige i mitt syn på Coelho 😉
