5 reasons to love Paulo Coelho



 “One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.” 

                               
Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

                            Well, for all the die-hard fans of Paulo Coelho this may seem virtuous and true to the fact, but for all others who don't really live in the philosophical world with him, there has to be a reason to love him...shouldn't there be??


The author of some of the scintillating works in the history of literature like The Alchemist (which inspired even our very own desi director Farah khan that she put the indianised version of one of Paulo's quotes in the movie which became a rage later),Eleven Minutes, Brida and the likes. He has always been able to capture his readers with tremendous wit and the most conspicuous trait which i and many other women are a fan of is respect for women. In each writing of his you can easily notice how beautifully he portrays his female leads and yet maintains their dignity.


And this compelled me to write a listicle about Paulo who has always been my first love in literature...

                                                                                                
  
1. Philosophy had never been so intriguing
                                 Yeah!!! all those who have relished and devoured each leaf of his books know how well he knows about philosophy and how he has been able to catch more and more readership by writing in such a cinch manner that it never seemed a piece of cake before. And people who still haven't read any of his novels, go rush and grab a copy for yourself and "TOUCH, FEEL, BELIEVE"!!!
                              
                              
                                               
2. He switches genres so well
                             If on one side you see an inspiring book by him then you can also love him for writing romance as well in exquisite clear tones. He has always been so exceptionally lovable because of the way his stories enfold somebody. he always has that make-believe world all set for his readers which is the best part you always crave for in a writer.

3. He comprehends women well
                             This is the basic reason he has a huge fan base and most of them are females. well those who have read eleven minutes know how well he understands a woman just like a woman does to another.

4. He is rich and successful
                          Many of the writers are never able to make it large in the terrene of literature but he has been able to strike the right chord and earned himself too much moolah!!! And c'mon who doesn't love rich and successful people. Don’t you??

5. Happy endings
                    The most important part of any story is its ending and we Indians are a huge fan of the "happy endings" and he always gives us one!!!
                      

P.S.umm...i think I’ve been able to praise Paulo enough that he would if not read at least catch a glimpse of my blog someday!!!!
