@cjko said in What is the last book you read and enjoyed?:
Mine is ... The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. A fable about following your dreams.
How about you?The alchemist is my most hated book ever 😂 idk if it’s because I was too young when I read it (14).
I mean, I remember at one point of the book, the guy puts a fûcking stone in his pocket and turns out he looses the stone cause there was a hole in the pocket.Instead of thinking damn I’m a dumbass, OF COURSE THEY’L FALL OUT IF THERES A FREAKING HOLE, the story says: « He didn’t consider mending the hole—the stones could fall through any time they wanted. » like bruh, the stones won’t fall out if they want to, this shit called gravity will make them fall!!!
I know I’m knit picking, and there’s some bullshît meaning behind the stones, but goddamnit it annoyed me so much and I have too much of a scientific mind for it😂
If you enjoyed the book it must mean you were way better at deciphering all the meanings behind the story that just flew over my head :P
That aside, the last book I read that I really enjoyed was The ice people (La nuit des temps) by René Barjavel. It’s a french science fiction novel and one of my favourite thus far
Idk if the translation is any good, but there’s an English movie about it so it should be XD -

@cjko
It says that you should be aware of the Scorpion people. Especially about the female scorpio.
So that's me! It was an odd coincidence, but an amusing one nonetheless.Here is some bloody proof (It's in german, by the way):
-
@cjko
The murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie.
Read it a long while back but i remember deciding it's the best book on the planet. (I was 13)
Just saying but i thought The Alchemist was bullcrap. Maybe it was too deep for me haha. -
@WtfJudith haha I'm laughing how you hated that book,. Sometimes, you have to widen your imagination about it.. haha and it's not enjoyable sometimes. LOL
I agree about the other meaning of it, but you have to enjoy it too in other perspective, :)thanks for sharing your thoughts about that book btw, I appreciate it. :)
and for telling me your favorite book :))) -
@Karina-Kara I dunno what's the meaning of this. hahhhah
thanks for teaching me some german language/ hahhaa -

@Kana yeah.. Alchemist is a fable and it needs wider perspective about everything :)

@Karina-Kara , @cjko
Here is the translation:
"Remember the Scorpion-Human, who dwells inside the mountains. He was created a long time ago from TIAMAT, to fight against the elder gods, for him it was allowed to stay with them under the mountains. He deceived us once and he may do it again. But call him, if something involves the outside, which you would like to know more and what i didn't tell you about. And his sign is easy and that is:
♏
And direct yourself only to his place, and he will come and speak, but do not do it by dawn, since when the sun raises, the Scorpion won't have power, and not before the dusk until nightfall, as he will be forced underground, as this is his letter of his contract, which pertains him; and it is written: His pate shall not raise above the sun.
And again: His is the dark time.
Yet again: He knows the gate, yet not The gate."-End of the first page-
The next page:
"And the Scorpion-Human has another from his race, female, which lives with him there, but talking about her is not right, and she must be spellbound with the Exorcism, shall she appear, as her touch brings death."
