In honor of Dr. Seuss’ birthday, March has been designated as Reading Month. To celebrate and encourage reading, we are asking local officials, residents and WKTV staff and volunteers to tell us about a book that they enjoy. Happy Reading!

Today’s book suggestion comes from Wyoming Kentwood Area Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Keith Morgan. Before taking over the reigns of the chamber, Morgan owned and operated a service-based business serving West Michigan for 10 years before it was sold.

Book: The Alchemist
Author: Paulo Coelho
Genre: Quest, adventure, fantasy

“The Alchemist follows a young Andalusian shepherd in his journey to the pyramids of Egypt, after having a recurring dream of finding a treasure there. Morgan said he recommend this book, because it is entertaining, appropriate, and inspiring for all walks of life.  It provides an easy way to look at practical life lessons, while focusing on pursuit of our dreams.

With more than 4,000 business calling Wyoming and Kentwood home, the Chamber is proud that it has been able to play key role, along with responsive city governments, to build a better community — a better place to live, to work, to raise a family… and a better place to do business.
