I don't read a lot of memoirs, but I heard good things about this memoir of Elizabeth Gilbert's travels in Italy, India, and Indonesia, so I decided to check it out. I am so glad I did. First, I have to say that Liz (I feel like I know her well enough to call her that) is a fabulous writer - witty, warm, smart, and self-deprecating. I think she would be fun to hang out with, maybe have a drink and chat for a few hours.
Second, she really brought to life the countries she spent time in, and made me really want to visit one of them in particular. Nope, not Italy: India. She made me want to hang out at an ashram in India - and I have never had any desire to go to India. But the people she met and the experiences she had were just so amazingly deep and spiritual that I would love to have the opportunity to experience something similar (though I know that my experience would be very different from hers).
So, I highly recommend Eat, Pray, Love. It's an excellent read with the potential to change your life.
