What's a book you read recently? Tell me a little about it.

B Natural answer

I finished a short novel called The Alchemist last week. It follows a young man who travels to find his dream, and the story is built around the main idea of listening to yourself. I liked the writing style because it was clear and calm, and I could read a few pages at a time without getting tired.
