I am always in doubt on what to buy on a book store. Having a book list with great names on it, its great. You can not miss a good read.
Also, check if you can find any of the Brazilian authors in your language. I am sorry but Paulo Coelho is not so good comparing to the author we have here. You should know better.
Recently, I have watched "Veronica wants to die", a movie based on his book with Buffy (yes, that actress from Buffy) and it was not so good. The plot was empty, the main arguement was weak and the movie was slow. It seemed that it wanted to give you a message for life in every scene. Thats how I feel reading Paulo Coelhos books. There always a passage from the Arabia giving some message in the form of a moral history.
Just say it, the important stuff is invisible for the eyes, for example. Its easier.
