Paulo Coelho's novel, The Alchemist, is a wonderful book that would appeal to readers of all ages, especially those at a crossroads in their life. The novel is about an 18-year-old boy named Santiago. Santiago meets with an old man who tells Santiago what his personal legend is, or the path he should take in life. Santiago's personal legend is to find a treasure in the pyramids of Egypt, but as the story progresses you find out that the treasure is not exactly what he discovers in the end. This book was originally written in Portugese, and later translated to English, but it's theme is definitely universal. This book will make you think about your path in life and realize that you may have known it all along. It is a definite recommendation!
