Thanks for commenting on my blog Shaneena. You're right, we seem to have alot of common ambitions. I'm glad to have inspired you.

I've been having a bit of writer's block lately - haven't posted in over a week - But thanks to you, I think I'll do my own version of your book tag post.

Thanks.

You know I love the Alchymist too, but I'm not sure I think it's the best one Coelho has written. I think perhaps I like "By the river Piedra" better. Though The Alcymist made me think in another way than By the river Piedra.

Perhaps I'll make one of those 30 things to before I die lists too - Visit Stonehenge we can cross off next year. And I have already met Dalai Lama. So - just 28 things left.. hmm. Oh and I forgot - I am actually a master of philosophy - at least on paper.. hehe
I'll gladly go with you on route 66 - if you get a harley with a whatchamacallits - you know "sidevogn". Or maybe I'll just have to get a lisence on my own. I have a friend in Texas I'd really like to visit too..
