Eat Pray Love

Elizabeth Gilbert’s
fantastic memoir was exactly what I needed to read. Eat,
Pray, Love : One Woman’s Search for Everything Across Italy, India
and Indonesia is a very quick read, but don’t let it’s humorous
tone fool you. It’s a book that makes you look into your own soul and
think about the life you’re living. At least, it did for me. I loved
her writing. It never got in the way of the story. I loved the way
she told her very sad story with great humor so that you never felt
sorry for her. I felt like the author was instantly likable. I loved
all three sections and all the characters in the book. I’ve never had
an interest in traveling to India or Indonesia (I wasn’t against the
idea just never felt compelled to go) but now I would love to. I am
hoping to go back to practicing yoga and I truly think that sitting
quietly and smiling for an hour each day may change my life for the
better. Looking deep into myself is something I should do regularly.
But now I am just blabbing.

There are many articles about this book all over the net. I had never
heard of it until my friend Nicole read it and recommended it. I read
it in a few days and loved every single moment of it. It’s not for
everyone (especially if you’re not spiritual at all) but it’s quite a
marvelous book for some people. Including me.

With this little entry, we finally catch up to all the books I’ve
read this year so far. I’m currently reading another memoir “The
Glass Castle” which, so far, is great. With the exception of Lolita,
this has so far been a year of great books. I hope to keep it up.
