paul coelho's The Alchemist
A short and compelling book by Paul Coelho to inspire the curiosity of the enterprising cultural reader? The mere title suggests something historical, spellbinding, thought provoking. Promises to be a most rewarding reading experience, perhaps comparable to a very enduring Jonathan Livingston Seagull, by Richard Bach. The subtitle suggestively offers the reader a journey through dreams hopes, not unlike Bach's book.
All great stories deal with the idea that if one so wishes, one can attain and accomplish what one desires, but as Coelho states, "simple things are the most valuable and only wise people appreciate them." The travels to Egypt makes it a life journey to turn one's dreams and hopes into reality.

I totally agree with you about this book. Definately a must read for architects. I love it's apparent simplicity over what is a wonderfully textured and descriptive book. I would recommend the book "The God of Small Things" by Arundhati Roy, an author who trained as an architect for similar reasons.
Another must--the Fountainhead, and ofcourse, the Prophet by Kahlil Gibran
apparently there is another gibran book just out, by kahlil's son...would love to read this one.
