I've read Eat Pray Love but haven't read Bram Stoker's Dracula--even though it's been on my bookshelf for years..
I've started to read War and Peace but I haven't read Eat Pray Love .
So far this year I have read mugging the muse and am about to finish eat, pray, love . Next up on deck is the rest is noise.
Thanks for the recommendations! I love getting good tips from people. Everyone keeps telling me to read Eat, Pray, Love . I've been hesitant because I'm worried it may not live up to the hype, people have really put it up on a pedestal. That being said... I'm definitely going for it this year! ...

WAAAAH. I read Eat, Pray, Love and did not find it quite as annoying as many---but now I have to go back to it for a book group! At least this is my not-so-deep group and a cursory scan should do it.
#63, 64, 65--Ditto for me on Eat, Pray, Love ---a self-indulgent, boring read. The Italy section was mildly amusing, but the rest was a bore and her whining just got to me after a while. I stopped in the last section and just skimmed to the end.
Eat, Pray, Love . I picked it up initially because I love memoirs and heard so many raves with comments like "Engaging" and "Loveable." I gutted it out through Italy and abandoned it in India. I wanted to slap this obnoxious, self-absorbed writer and genuinely resented that I had contributed to ...

Now I can officially give up on Eat, Pray, Love after reading a few other opinions on it. The only part I partially enjoyed was when she was in Italy, and that was only because the food sounded so good. I found the author to be childish and selfish. If everyone who had a bad year had to go on ...

Elee, it is definitely fascinating to see everyone's opinions--I know Eat Pray Love was a huge bestseller and so many loved it (including Oprah), but I just totally disliked it and disliked very much The Road which is another one that was a huge bestseller. That's part of the reason I love LT-- ...
Hmmm, I didn't hate Eat, Pray, Love ; in fact, I enjoyed a lot of the experiences, especially in Italy. I just got tired of the author continually second-guessing herself, and didn't connect with the spiritual journey.

I hope you all can keep a secret for me. I was supposed to read Eat, Pray, Love for book club last fall, but I couldn't bring myself to finish it. I feel particularly badly about it because a member of our group, and a very close friend, was married at the ashram in the book, and even brought ...
I feel same way about Eat, Pray, Love it was so darned whiny and boring as can be. The 1st section in Italy was somewhat amusing/interesting but after that-it was a struggle to finish it. Why so many liked it I don't know.
I picked up Eat, Pray, Love for $0.50 from my library's used book shelf because my boss had been raving about it. Struggled to get to page 40 so I could give up. It will be donated back...

1. Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. I have mixed feelings about this one. Breezy, occasionally laugh-out-loud funny, but also navel-gazing. But, hey, it's not the first novel I've started in 2008 but it's the first that I've finished. This has to count for something.
... thought I could care about a runt pig that grows to be a giant in every way?

I'm reading Eat, Pray, Love now, too. I'm still in the Italy section but don't find the humor all that funny. I find myself saying "Oh, that was supposed to be funny!" I'm hoping something will evoke a good laugh soon. Enjoyable enough, nonetheless.
