Hi all! I finished "The Zahir" by Paul Coelho, the author of "The alchemist". The "Zahir" book was not exactly what I expected, though knowing Coelho I should have known better. While I did not care for "Alchemist", I liked "11 minutes", and like this "Zahir" also. The main character is a famous novelist, who meets and marries a journalist who leaves him to follow her "Zahir" (obsession) and he in turn follows her though mostly in his mind / same city until the very end. That was the part I thought would be different - thought it would all be about a physical journey, though in a way it is, as he meets another man who prepares him mentally and then guides him to his wife. If you like Coelho's work, you'll like "The Zahir".

P.S. anyone read "Winner Takes All"?
