Hi Carl D,
The French version of Elizabeth Gilbert’s “Eat, pray, love” is called “Mange, prie, aime”.
If you live in France, you will find it easily in most bookshops.
If you don’t, you can probably order it on the Internet (through French websites like amazon.fr, fnac.com, alapage.com, etc.).

PCN, thanks for your nice words!
I checked about Elizabeth Gilbert’s book cause you really made me want to know more about it.
It was translated into French and published here one year ago. I may wait for a paperback edition (these big books are always quite expensive…). But I may as weel buy it if I come across it next time I go to a bookshop!
Just one other book to add to my amazingly high pending book pile (Picture the Eiffel Tower!)!

Anyway, it’s nice to talk with both you and ShelleyP again!
French good vibes flying to you both!

‘Onya’? You are up to speed with our slang, Julien. On ya, mate! (Short for ‘good on you’.)

Impressive, ShelleyP. Perhaps you’re also a French spy going undercover as an Aussie lass?

Hi Julien!

I can’t offer any French words like ShelleyP so I’ll just say in English that it’s nice to hear from you!

When I wrote this post, I actually thought, “Oh, Julien’s going to like this” because I remember how much you enjoyed Richard Jenkins in The Visitor (I did, too). And do check out Eat, Pray, Love if you’ve got the time. It’s the true account of Elizabeth Gilbert’s trek to Italy, India and Bali to find her spiritual center after going through a nasty divorce. She’s a smart, engaging writer and her voice is very funny, not whiny or full of self-pity.

I didn’t like Gran Torino much, either! The acting was not good, especially from the Hmong actors but they have the excuse of being first-timers. Eastwood’s constant growling was over-the-top and I got tired of it real fast.

You have a nice weekend, too, and don’t be a stranger!

Hi ShelleyP!
Yes, I’ve been a mute reader over the last few weeks, visiting the blog like a spy and leaving it on tiptoe!
Thanks for your French words, it’s great and totally perfect! Onya! 😉

Have a nice week-end, all of you guys!

Hey, Julien ~ ça va? Je vais bien, merci! I was wondering where you were but it’s nice to see you’ve still been there, albeit quietly, and you’ve been keeping up with your cinema-going. À bientôt!
