The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

This is definitely one of my favourite 3 books, I love the story truly inspiring.

It's about a young spanish boy called Santiago, that get's a herd of sheep from an egyptian king ( I think it was egyptian )

Well he went off to see the egyptian pyramids because the king adviced him to follow his dreams and never let off of them.

On the way he meets many People and eventually an Alchemist, he learns to prioritize and follow his goal.

This book will motivate you to pursue and stay true to your dreams.

For everyone having them, I strongly recommend reading the Alchemist.

The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoevsky

Dostoevsky tells the story about the truthtelling and very naive Prince Myshkin that has just come back from Switzerland after beeing treated against his illness ( idiocy ). On the train back he already meets Rozin and some other fella, he believes everything a person says, and always sacrifices himself for them.

The more you read the book you will learn that Prince Myshking is by no means retarted, no, actually really really smart, and attentive and observative.

But he's naive and let's all the people fool him, not once but over and over again, that's where he's the idiot.

This book has so many stories of different people to tell, I can't give it a Proper Introduction.

Read it, it's a must.

The Count of Monte Cristo

Oh well I guess most of you's have read it, but the title is My Favourite Novels, and the count of Monte Cristo definitely belongs in here.

It's My No. 1 Favourite book of all time, it tells the story about a young sailor that is beeing captured and wrongfully imprisoned on his wedding day.

In prison he gets to learn an old man in which he first can only communicate through a whole.

The man ( a priest ) teaches him everything he knows, and together they are finding out who is behind the plot that got him in Prison.

Der Lange Hans

This is another Book I really liked, however it's in German and I don't know if they ever made an english translation, I tried to find it on Amazon but it wasn't there.

Well it is listed but the item is currently unavailable.

It's about a boy that runs away from Home, he's always beeing messed with so one day he decides to join other "freaks", on the way he learns a lot, he grows up, and it's a heartwarming story.

Recommend for everyone that will find it in a bookstore.

In english it should be The Tall Hans
