This is Sexy Nomad's pothole of books she's read. She's still finding the time to complete her collection coz she believes that "Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers." --- Charles W. Eliot (1834 - 1926), The Happy Life, 1896

Brida by Paolo Coelho

August 31, 2010

 

 

 

I started reading this 312-page paperback last July… 2009! I know I am a slow reader, but more so if the story is really not that interesting. I bought Brida because one - it’s a Paolo Coelho book and I have loved many of his novels for years; and two - because it’s a book about being a witch and I’ve always wanted to be one as evidenced by my love for the Wiccan ways which I share on my Wiccan Blog. Unfortunately, for me, the pace of the story in the beginning was really not that fantastic and I got bored to tears. It’s only during my morning rituals (after I do my daily tarot reading, meditation and spell) that I try to read a few more pages just so I can finish this blasted book. It was only when I was reaching the last few chapters that the story became more exciting to the point that it was giving me goosebumps and hair tingles. This meant that finally, I was one with the book and it was as if I was Brida finally consummating my journey into  my real self, that of becoming a witch.
