Waddup, book nerds! Our special guest Sudi Green (SNL, Hulu’s Shrill) made us read The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. Published in 1988, this book spent 400 weeks on the bestseller list. Coelho wrote this book in two freakin’ weeks. Bill Clinton, Madonna, and Will Smith all love it. But why? Mean Book Club breaks it down.P.S.
