Book stuff: Brida by Paulo Coelho

I've been continuing my spiritual journey with another Paulo Coelho book, this time I went for 'Brida' which I found in my local library. The book tells the story of Brida a young Irish girl on the search for her soulmate and trying to understand her gift for magic while also trying to balance her everyday and real world relationships. Her journey sees her encounter and learn from both a witch and a magus and gives a great insight into the world of magic and witchcraft. My favourite quote from the book was this "I will always remember you, and you will remember me, just as we will remember the evening, the rain on the windows, and all the things we'll always have because we cannot possess them". I think what the quote means is that when we love something or someone we never lose it, because we never owned it, so it will always be there. Aside from this book I have only read Aleph and The Zahir of Paulo Coelho's books, and I am going to say that I didn't like this one as much as the other two. If I ask myself why this is, then I would say it is because the lead character in the Zahir is male and The Aleph is autobiographical so I got more of a sense of Paulo himself coming through in those two books. I'm going to see if I can get some more of Paulo's books from the library next week, I am keen go find out if there are any others of his that I will love as much as The Zahir.
