Bookclub: Eat, Pray, Loved It.

Tonight is bookclub/movie night!

We will be dining out after work to discuss the book, eating at a different location that originally announced (I think 'Page Turner' wanted to make sure it was a place with some booze).  Then after the discussion/dinner we will venture over to the theatre to check out the movie (by the same name) starring Julia Roberts.

Rumblings so far (mini-discussions) was that most didn't enjoy this book. I actually honestly loved it and am going to give it a 4. From the beginning I have related to this book on so many levels. 'Page Turner' thinks that our younger members (me included) ".. have not lost yourself. You have not gone off the course you wanted your life on." I'm there right now and maybe not in the same sense as the author has but I've always felt older than what I am and have lived a fairly "grown up" life this far.

This actually ties in great with a story I came across via 20-Nothings that was featured in the New York times about 20 somethings and their "selfish" search to find themselves. This is could get wordy and is a bit deep for so soon this morning. It's intersting and I suggest you read it if you get the chance.

So check back later tonight or tomorrow to get the bookclub recap as well as why I related (and I think many others my age if they think about it) to this story. Happy Book Club Day to All!
