"I talk to my readers on social networking sites, but I never tell them what the book is about. Writi..." — Paulo Coelho

It's not difficult for me to put my feelings into written form. I try to be concise and to go direct to the subject. This is what people like about my work, and what the critics hate.

MySpace is my wife... Facebook is my mistress.

I am not a self-help writer. I am a self-problem writer. When people read my books, I provoke some things. I cannot justify my work. I do my work; it is up to them to classify it, to judge.

Most of my young years were spent under the boots of the military.
