By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept - Paul Coelho

The book is philosophical. Had Geeta not suggested, I wouldn’t have read it, though it was in my library of new Sony eBook reader. Total number of pages, 81 was very encouraging.

Start is slightly confusing rather difficult to comprehend as it is philosophy. But it turns out to be very interesting and well written. It uses analogy to explain the concepts, which I do often. But books touches spiritual concepts which are hard to explain without analogy. The explanation and use of the characters to explain them is brilliant. Spirituality and uncertainty in finding it is beautifully elaborated.

Book keeps toggling between love, religion, spirituality & work. The conflict and their effect on our life is described in simple manner. Follow your heart and God will help you to reach your destination. It talks about pain & suffering deliberately disguised and kept in the paradise to experience happiness.

Amazing book, worth a read. Can be finished quickly.
