Haven't read Marquez, but I fucking hate Paulo Cuelho.

His books are stocked in the "Classics" section at my local store. I tried reading "The Alchemist" and it was just shitty pseudo-spiritual garbage. If you just BELIEVE hard enough the universe will come to your aid! (Literally says something like this at some point.) Yeah, gee, I guess all those poor people just need to believe harder!

Like it tries to be all deep and spiritual and it's really just shallow and poorly written. It's everything about New Age spirituality that I loathe with a passion - all shallow "woo magick" flashiness, zero substance, and a deeply selfish, rotten core, wrapped in love and light. Ugh ugh ugh.

I see why it was popular in the 80s and 90s, I bet all those baby boomers just lapped it up.

Agreed. The only book I like of Coelho is "The demon and Miss Prim", but otherwise, no just no.

I finally read it last year and I felt like I would have found it really profound when I was like...14. Too late, missed the bus.
