I enjoyed Dylan's Chronicles, although he does jump around in his times a bit.
I read Paolo Cuehlo's "Eleven Minutes", which he had announced was going to be aout a "shocking subject". I found it rather a charming love story. I enjoyed the famous one, "The Alchemist" too. Think I'll look for some more of his stuff when I go to the UK in September. I don't speak Portuguese and I can't be arsed to read it in German. I only read German for work!
