Isn’t it funny how once you hear about something, you start seeing it everywhere even though you never noticed it before? I’d bet you’re generally well-informed anyway but I’m happy to have introduced you to something new.

Dammit, I always miss the “reply” to your “reply”, PCN, and open a new thread, sorry! Then when I realize it, just after submitting my comment, it always gets on my nerves! I have to pay more attention!
By the way, I recently read an interview of Mrs Gilbert for a French magazine (published last year) and was quite happy to make the link with a book I’d been introduced to a few weeks before thanks to you! I felt smart and very well-informed! So that’s an other Thank you! 🙂

I’ll tell you her opinion about it, no problem PCN!
I’m quite certain she will like it, but I do hope she will get the message from it! Like Elizabeth Gilbert, I’m sure she went through a similar phase at a moment of her life, dreaming of changing everything. But she just closed her eyes and kept on living the same way, suffering in silence like she always does…
I’d like this book to help her open her eyes and learn to be happy… Waow, great ambitions, huh?!
Wait and see!…

Ooh, I’d love to hear what your mother thinks after she reads it! Did you give her an English or French copy?

And I agree—if Javier is in it, I will watch it.

Anything with Javier worths watching!
And I’m all the more interested in this movie that it is adapted from a book you made me discover recently, PCN! So double thank you! 🙂
I’ve not read the book yet but I offered it to my mother last week!

Am I a fan of Eat, Pray, Love? Who cares? It’s a movie with Javier Bardem and Julia Roberts!!! I’d go even if 3/4 of it included watching paint dry!

Hi, EnduringLove,

Yes, I do recommend this. It’s an engaging, funny read but full of substance, too. Everyone I’ve recommended it to has loved it.

What kind of books do you enjoy? I’d be happy to make additional recommendations if you’d like. Putting together a summer reading list is so much fun!

Hi PCN – I don’t know the book–I’m behind on my reading. I take it you recommend? Am getting my summer reading list together now, when I’ll actually have time to read! Love Bardem and will definitely check this out.

I think you and I are twins. We like the same people—Robert Downey Jr., Hugh Laurie, Hugh Jackman, Simon Baker and now Mr. Bardem.
