Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert

I finished Eat Pray Love last week and have been meaning to write about it, but you know how it is when you get busy... This book was really good and I really enjoyed the Italy and the Bali part. I'll admit that I was losing interest in the middle (India) part, but I really did enjoy this book. If you haven't heard about it, you need to check it out. A woman in her mid 30s goes through a terrible divorce and gets a book advance in order to travel around the world. I know, nice, huh? She re-connects with herself with the backdrop of Italy (pleasure), India (meditation/soul), and Indonesia or Bali to be exact (the common ground between pleasure and the soul). It was very easy to read--style was great. I'm anxious to see what everyone in my book club has to say about this book. :)

I'm currently reading "The Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follett (at a whopping 980 some pages it's going to take me awhile to get through this one!). It's excellent so far.
