Any ideas?
How about something from this list?

Paulo Coehlo was name-checked in Oscar Wao. Should we read one of his? (I have never read him)

I love Paulo Coehlo's novels. At one point I had read all his books, and would love to reread any of them since I read them so long ago. There are a few new ones that I have not read (I think). The Alchemist is my favorite and probably his most noted work.

So- how about this:
Read the Alchemist the novel.
THEN
Read the Alchemist the Graphic novel.
It would be neat to compare the two.
See how each are similar/different. See if they are moving/powerful in different or similar ways.
