I have begone reading the book The Alchemist it is about the legend of Narcissus. Narcissus sits by the lake in this legend he falls in to the lake and never surfaced again. The god of the forest came and turned the lake that Narcissus died into a lake of salty tears. the god was wondering why the lake choose him and the lake replied that is was interested in Narcissus eyes when they looked down at the river. The god feels very upset and betraied that the lake took Narcissus.

The down side to this book so far is that it is in third person. I don't normally read books that are in third person I mostly like first person books. Also, the whole back story with the legend and all can be very confusing at first but once you understand it the book becomes way clearer. You might half to look up what the back story is to get a better understanding of the book.
