Anybody?

npasquale16

Has anyone read Eat Pray Love?  Are you planning on seeing the movie?  I just finished tonight and I'm wondering if it will totally suck or if it can do the book justice.

I have it but haven't read it for some reason

npasquale16

I'm reading it for my book club and I actually really liked it.  It was easy for me to get into, which isn't true of a lot of memoirs.

Are you planning on seeing the movie?

Ironically, I've been too busy to read it. I have however, just got my friend who needs it more than anyone else I know to start reading it. She celebrated beginning the book by having menhdi done on her hands today. (I think it's funny that spell check tries to turn menhdi into manhood. Uh.. no.)

ETA: dear lord, the new sig is too big. Let me get on that.

npasquale16

Haha, but I love it, Petra.  That squirrel face is hysterical.

AI don't read things with the word Pray in it.

PetraStonegirl

There we go. A bit smaller, but you can still read the text. This is one of my all time favorites, and that's saying something. I have a huge squirrel picture collection.

<div>But would you if the title was Pray For More Beer?</div>

ricksang

Yes Petra or Pray for more coffee!

SarahPLiz

I haven't read it, but I like the movie trailer, especially the part where she says this is her "no carb left behind" tour.

ricksang

Ha! Yeah, I can't deal with Jesus talk. I might give it a look when I feel like reading again.

Petra, my dog just pulled a squirrel on coffee.  He grabbed a nugget of food, threw it in the air, chased and barked at it, and then ate it.  Now he is sleeping on the couch.

Me, too.  Actually, the Italy part was my favorite part of the book.  I think they'll focus a lot on that in the movie, so it will probably be funny.

ricksang

Oh that is so cute Petra. I love it!

I kinda want to read it, but know that I probably wont.

Jesus talk is more fun than God talk, in my experience. Jesus was a laid back dude. Drank a lot of wine, wore sandals, hung out with ladies of the night.

PetraStonegirl

Pasquale- That is awesome! I can completely picture it. I love squirrely dogs. I'm bummed that my roommate's dogs want to kill them. I love my squirrels, they live in the backyard tree and hang out in the lilacs in front of my house. It makes me sad when she launches herself at them. Tele is excited, but not violent.

Ang- Thanks! I was getting crabby and overwhelmed at wedding planning when I first joined TK, and just realized that I'd had the old man squirrel scratching his butt as my avatar still. Figured it was time for a change, because you ladies definitely pulled me out of my funk.

ricksang

My H said Jesus was the world's first hippy.

jasmineh7777

He most definitely was. His Dad was a real hardass, but He was lots of fun. I feel like I could have had a drink with Him and talked about the universe and shiit.

Very true :P.  This reminds me of that article where the person said good Christians serve alcohol because Jesus liked it or something.

jasmineh7777

We serve alcohol to recover from the homily.

I haven't read it yet either, want to, haven't found the time, or the money to buy.. Lol.

My favorite part of the trailer is when she starts laughing hysterically, and says "You're so naked!". I die everytime that part comes on..
