Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia by Elizabeth Gilbert

I started reading this book at 8:00 A.M. and didn't stop until 1:00 A.M. the same day. It was a positively captivating memoir. Elizabeth Gilbert divorced in her early 30s and (like many of us) was confused about her destiny and purpose in life. So, she took a year to travel and divided her time between Italy, India, and Indonesia. In Italy she learns the power of "pleasure," which turns out to be food and friendship. In India she explores spiritual dedication and focus, and in Indonesia she kind of combines the two pieces of understanding. She writes character well. She's authentic about emotions. She's brutally honest even if it means casting a negative light on herself. She's funny, even when she cries. Favorite Quote: "To know God, you need only to renounce one thing: your sense of division from God."
