Calling all lovers of good books




So I just finished reading Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert, and I must say…it was amazing!! One of my co-workers here at the library, had said enthusiastically of the book “every woman must read this”; I am happy to report that Danielle was so right.

This is a book unlike any I have read in a very long time, and though it most certainly will appeal to many women readers, I think that men many also enjoy this book, which is mostly about being human. This book touches the heart, and speaks directly and clearly to anyone who is searching for something more.

The author has such a way with words that she has managed to illustrate in everyday terms some of the most complex theories and approaches to spirituality and religion in ways that absolutely anyone can absorb. And trust me, you’ll want to absorb every word.

The beauty of Eat, Pray, Love transcends any religious or culture barriers that may exit with other books on…well simply put, life. Everyone will be able to relate to the author as she takes the reader through her unlikely journey across continents in search of absolutely everything. I loved it so much! Please, readers, lovers of good books, do yourselves a favor and READ THIS BOOK

I loved this book! Gilbert has a way with words. I ate with her in Italy, prayed with her in India and loved with her in Indonesia. You're right when you say that "every woman must read this". They should. She was very open and honest about her life, relationships and family. She put herself out there for us to see and maybe even learn a little about our lives and ourselves. Thanks for blogging about this book.
