What is your favorite book and why?

My favorite book is named EI Alquimista(牧羊少年奇幻之旅 in Chinese) which talked about a young boy who following his dream. I read this book when I was a college student. At that time, I thought I was lost and didn't know what could I do and where could I go in the future.

It was exactly talked about dream. A young sheepherder thought about his dream which was going the holy ground and finding the treasure which buried in this place. He met a old man, who told him that he needed to follow his heart to make his dream come true. And he gave the boy two stone which could help him make a decision when he has no idea.

Here was the sentence he told the boy, "When you really want something, everyone in the universe will help you to make it." After talking, young boy made the decision by these stone and started his travel to find the treasure.

This is my favorite book because it's talked about a boy who got lost and didn't be sure if he should to follow his dream. Once he deciding to follow his heart, he didn't hesitate anymore.
It was to remind me to think what I want. Which future I want to be? When I felt lost, I didn't try to find out what my soul said. I just felt worried and tried to figure out what could I do in the future and which career might be fine, but I forgot to talk with myself. It let me know I should try to listen to my heart and I would find my way.

Finally, the boy found his treasure which was in the place he herded in the beginning. Sometimes the dream was so far, but actually it was very closely. You need to start to find it our or you never know what you really want. By the way, the stone, which he got them at first and helped to make a decision, he never used them to make decisions after his travel starting. When he decided to follow his heart, he didn't hesitate anymore.

I think book is something which could feed your soul when you feel hungry and empty. And this book is the one you should take a look, especially you forgot your dream.
