I will still read The Poet but I won't expect much.
Right now I'm about to start reading 'The Alchemist' by Paulo Coelho.

I'd never even heard of him until I found that book. It's ironic the way you put it, because that's how it went. In the beginning it was interesting (or maybe I was just biased because parts of it took place in where I had been just before reading it), then it kind of degenerated overall as it moved along. The first few chapters are like a different novel from the rest of the book.
