DAMMIT!!!!

I just found out Paulo Coelho MY ALL TIME FAVORITE WRITER (Sorry Fay Weldon) is here in Bulgaria doing a book signing as I type this and I cannot attend.

I wrote to him last year after reading "11 Minutes"; a beautiful love story and an inspiring book on so many levels, and he wrote me back on my birthday no less and thanked me for writing him.

I am deeply grieving this lost opportunity but in Canada I will have a chance to meet him I'm sure.

Here is his website: http://www.paulocoelho.com/engl/

His first book The Alchemist is a must read. I have now read 4 of his books and want more. Last one being "On the bank of the river Pierdra I sat down and wept".
