I know, I just hate that. I can not for the life of me get into Eat, Pray, Love. I got it b/c everyone raved about it, but I am just not feeling it yet. I will give it another try, though.
Hmm. It might just not be 'you'. I didn't realize how people project themselves into certain books until I read how people (here on the DIS and elsewhere) were upset with her 'whining' or whatever. It actually shouldn't have surprised me because hanging out on the DIS I should realize that everyone has to do everything this way or that way or it's wrong (not saying that you do that Fliers).
SHE was going through something in HER life and this is how SHE handled it...anyway, I've marked mine up in a million places. I know I won't be able to take a year off and find myself (nor has anyone offered to pay me to do so) but I love learning lessons from books like this. I loved A Year By the Sea as well.
I've picked Pillars of the Earth back up and gotten into it again. I hope I can just finish it. This is so not like me!
ETA: Fliers, didn't you go to Rome? The first part (the eating!!!!!) is in Rome. Mouth watering Rome....
