18. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho -- The author tells the story of a boy named Santiago, who dreams about finding treasure among the pyramids of Egypt. After consulting with a gypsy and a king, he decides to make the arduous trek from Spain to Giza. The moral of the story: listen to you heart, pursue your dreams, and don't let anything persuade you to do otherwise. It was a short novel and the language was pretty simple so it was a fast read. It was also kind of sappy.
