"Jose Arcadia did not dare leave the house for several days.It was enough for him to hear the rocking laughter of Pilar in the kitchen to run and take refuge in the laboratory, where the artifacts of alchemy had come alive again with Ursula's blessing. Jose Arcadia Buendia received his errant son with joy and initiated him in the search for the philosopher's stone, which he had finally undertaken. One afternoon the boys grew enthusiastic over the flying carpet that went swiftly by the laboratory at window level carrying the gypsy who was driving it and several children from the village who were merrily waving their hands, but Jose Arcadia Buendia did not even look at it. "Let them dream," he said. "We'll do better flying than they are doing, and with more scientific resources than a miserable bedspread." In spite of his feigned interest, Jose Arcadia never understood the powers of the philosopher's egg, which to him looked like a poorly blown bottle. He did not succeed in escaping from his worries. He lost his appetite and he could not sleep. He fell into an ill humor, the same as his father's over the failure of his undertakings. And such was his upset that Jose Arcadia Buendia himself relieved him of his duties in the laboratory, thinking
that he had taken alchemy too much to heart. Aureliano, of course, understood that his brother's affliction did not have its source in the search for the philosopher's stone, but he could not get into his confidence."

One hundred years of solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

I'm reading this now. It's so freaking good.

a) "Philosopher's Stone" - from Harry Potter.

Apparently this dude wrote about the Philosopher's stone some 16 centurys ago, in the oldest known books on alchemy.

For something more recent, Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist is a nice little read.

All this Harry Potter talk....

 

[Krish the Fish]

Will a Philosopher's stone turn a SS Rolex Daytona into a Rose Gold one? Because that I can get behind.

edit: that might void the warranty though... Decisions decisions.
