August-Book Club for the moms:
"Eat, Pray, Love" (from Oprah's Book Club) by Elizabeth Gilbert
Book Discussion Date: Monday August 2, 2010 7-8pm @ our meeting.
This will be fun because the movie is coming out this summer and we could all go to it!
About the book....
At the age of thirty-one, Gilbert moved with her husband to the suburbs of New York and began trying to get pregnant, only to realize that she wanted neither a child nor a husband. Three years later, after a protracted divorce, she embarked on a yearlong trip of recovery, with three main stops: Rome, for pleasure (mostly gustatory, with a special emphasis on gelato); an ashram outside of Mumbai, for spiritual searching; and Bali, for "balancing." These destinations are all on the beaten track, but Gilbert's exuberance and her self-deprecating humor enliven the proceedings: recalling the first time she attempted to speak directly to God, she says, "It was all I could do to stop myself from saying, 'I've always been a big fan of your work.'"
So get to your nearest library and check out the book! A woman from the library will come to our August meeting and be the facilitator of the book discussion. She highly encourages you to read the book!
