I like Coelho's attitude. I have a freebie promo copy of The Alchemist from the now-defunct Borders store Brida from Kobo, actually.

I think I'll read it and if I like his prose, scoop his sale books for which the blurbs and samples read well to help prove his point to his publishers. Or maybe just scoop the lot, since it'll work out to less than $15 CAD and I spend about that much on late-night discount sushi anyway.

Reason: Wrong book by different author, but it turns out I have a backup readthrough option.
