Paulo Coelho gives his readers the possibility of reading all of his books online!

aarthilal · 03-20-2008, 07:54 PM

The first best-selling author Paulo Coelho is distributing for free his works on his blog: http://www.paulocoelhoblog.com
The Pilgrimage, The Witch of Portobello and more...
On the next months, Paulo is going to have full editions online of all his titles published in English.

Throw all your Coehlo books away, burn them if possible and go search for Jodorowsky.

Paulo is everything that's wrong with the literary world. String a few pretty words together, you got a pretty sentence. String a few pretty sentences together, you got a pretty paragraph. String a few pretty paragraphs together, you got a pretty chapter. String a few pretty chapters together, and you got a pretty, mediocre, average Paulo Cohelo book. There's no sinerity, earnest effort in what he writes.

Too many people latch on to his work as if his word is written in golden blood or something. Some of the greatest artwork/writing/sculpting etc. was created out of constant nurturing of concepts, and agonizing over perfecting the work. Coehlo while not a "cheater" just found a formula for selling his work and now he's pretty much satirized himself ever since.

I never met anyone to behave like that.
