Reel Books: Eat, Pray, Love
The film Eat, Pray, Love starring Julia Roberts alongside great actors such as Viola Davis (Doubt) and Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men), is causing quite a bit of excitement as it is scheduled to be released in August. But did you know this movie is actually based on a book? It is a memoir by Elizabeth Gilbert called Eat, Pray, Love: A Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia.
Eat, Pray, Love was originally published in 2006 and soon became a New York Times bestseller. People have come into the library requesting copies upon copies after hearing how wonderful and humorous a book it is, and I myself am a big fan.
If you would like to take a look at the official website of Eat, Pray, Love and learn more about the book and the film, visit elizabethgilbert.com.
If you have already read it...
...you can read the continuation of Elizabeth Gilbert's story, Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage, released January 2010.
