Eat, Pray, Love, by Elizabeth Gilbert

This one kept popping up on my radar...aside from the play it's been getting in the press (many reviews, Kathryn Heigl is reading it!) my acupuncturist recommended it, 2 friends have recently read it and declared it amazing, so I got it and 2 others of her books from the library. It is pretty amazing. Her style is so conversational, and even what I consider the fruity spiritual stuff comes off believable. The book is in 3 sections, following her travels to Italy, India, and Indonesia after suffering a nasty divorce and a tragic love affair, not to mention a lifetime of worry and an inability to be still. It will be interesting to people who are seeking their own spiritual path, but also to the general population, which is a testament to her facility with language and storytelling.
