I just finished Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert.

The Italy section really dragged for me, and I couldn't understand the point of the book at that stage. She came across as being very self-obsessed and I didn't really sympathize much with her. But then I really enjoyed the India/Bali sections, and it made me want to travel again!

Anyone else read this? What did you think?

Invisible Prey by John Sandford

I started it a while ago, when I first got it, but forgot about it and started other books!

This sounds interesting--is it fiction or a true story?  I like stuff about women travelling....

I'm reading "All the Joy You Can Stand" by Debrena Jackson Gandy and "Succulent Wild Woman" by Sark.  Both are women's psychology / spirituality / self-empowerment type books.

It's a true story. The most interesting part of it for me was the spiritual change she went through in India. She stayed at an Ashram for awhile.

To Say Nothing of the Dog  by Connie Willis

Great if you're into time travel stories.  Confusing, sometimes, but...it's time travel!
