I've never read Paulo Coelho because of the hype, people either love or hate him, and i didn't wanted to enter either of the bandwhagons.

I read it a long time ago, it's a pretty nice book.
I got surprised though that so many foreigners like it. He's far from being considered the best writer in Brazil. Why is so famous abroad?

we always pick up the least interesting things from other cultures.

You're jealous beause cortazar - or any other argentinian writer for that matter - will never be as popular worldwide as paulo coelho is.
Paulo Coelho is not so bad, but he's definetely not great.
Axe de Assis is based though

do you guys even know he is brazilian? Or what Brazil is, I mean, I hope you guys don't think we are a middle eastern country or something.

>>52664847
it was not meant to be offensive, just asking, since I find weird a novel that takes place in Egypt being the book of choice for a Brazilian writer.
>>52664811
>do you guys even know he is brazilian?
I dunno maybe, can't recall. This was a long time ago, but I remember in class we looked at a brief biography of the author and I remember his favorite movie was 'once upon a time in the west'
I'm pretty sure everyone knows that Brazil is that large south american country, whose inhabitants of the southern part are 100% white.
