Winter Reading

P.S. I am currently reading worldwide phenomenon 'Eat Pray Love', by Elizabeth Gilbert. So far, I have finished the first third of the book, which introduces the depressed, heart-broken heroine and takes us on the first leg of her journey of recovery… through the pleasure she finds in the language and food of Italy.

I am trying to read this book with an open mind, pushing away the skepticism I usually have when approaching something that has acquired world-wide acclaim and a spot at the top of some kind of 'best' list. Like my baby Brother, I'm not usually one to jump on the bandwagon… on second thought, I usually DO jump on the band wagon… just far too late (I started wearing Ugg-like boots years after they first graced the cover of People Magazine, on the feet of some off-duty celebrity).
