Eat Pray Love

Hello folks!

Sorry for the delay, I attribute it to Eat Pray Love. I bought this book a few weeks ago and could not wait to start it. It had been highly recommended to me by quite a few people, and I assumed it would be worth the $14 I paid for it at the Strand (expensive in comparison to the other books I have picked up there). Boy was I WRONG. I thought I would get through this book in record time. I never made it past Italy! I LOVE Italy! I was listening to this author describe one of my favorite places of all time and I was seriously struggling to turn the pages.

For anyone who doesn't know, this book is about a woman going through a messy divorce who spends three months in three countries, the first one being Italy. Now as a Social Worker in training, I am pretty much down to listen to self indulgent whining. So I think if I get sick of the bitching, there is some serious excess going on. I can see how people could finish this book...i think. Maybe it will be more compelling when Julia Roberts if flashing her big teeth and laughing maniacally. I was really determined to finish this book. Even if something sucks I am always compelled to finish it. I mean, I sat through Crossroads and the Breakup and I've finished a quiznoes pizza sub, and after 2 weeks I still couldn't get through this thing.

Now as a result I am behind in my blog. AH! We will see if I can catch up!
