Eat, Pray, Love affected me in a way that not a lot of books have.  

It inspired me to kind of try to learn Italian, to put “somewhere in Micronesia” at the tip top of my list of places to visit, and it made me appreciate the meaning behind the words “jai guru deva om” before I inked them permanently over my heart.

It’s a book I will certainly read over and over.

Being that I loved that book so much, when I found this book, I absolutely could NOT resist:

It’s the story of a man’s quest for booze (Dublin), games (Vegas), and sex (Bangkok).  I’m hoping it’s as good as the premise makes it sound.

I picked that book up at my neighborhood Barnes and Noble along with this one:

This is supposed to be the Supersize Me of religion, and after seeing Religulous a few months ago, I think this will be an interesting read.

Now, I just need to find the time to do this.

I’ve heard that last book is quite fun. He also read the entire Encyclopedia and wrote a book about it called The Know It All, which I have thumbed through and quite enjoyed what I read.

The second book looks awesome. Might have to add it to my list.

I love ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ so much. I read it all the time. ‘A Year of Living Biblically’ was a very good book. I enjoyed it so much.

I know lots of people like to hate on M[r]s. Gilbert, but that book hit me at a pivotal time in my life, and I will always adore it.
