Yes..places haunts the readers..especially if you know the place very well…I will read it again too
Enjoy ?
Also just got the alchemist, very excited to read it!
You will like it. To be honest, first I wanted to give up on the book, but my friend recommended it and she usually lent me good books so I stuck with it and it was worth it. Because the end of the book is so powerful, it gave me goosebumps ?

It is something about the faith or the destiny? Basically whatever is meant for you will meet you at the right time so you don’t miss your happiness in between ?

Great taste Debbie.

I have seen the films though. Still worth a read?
His best two books imo Dylan.
I’m sure I can find them cheap. Will add them to the endless list of books to read.
@Steve thank you!
@Dylan the movies are good but the books are still worth the read. I read all of these before the movies came out. Waited about 20 years for THE STAND to be made into a movie.
If you do read SHUTTER ISLAND, I’d love to get your take on it. I’ll tell you why after you read it. ?
