I'm sorry - I usually dress up, polish my stilettos, straighten my hair and iron my shirt before I write here. So excuse the unlike-me title of this post.
I picked up Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat. Pray. Love. on Sunday at BJs. Yes BJs- it was $9.39 - it even beats the Barnes & Noble member discount. (I tried to convince my boy to buy swim-trunks at BJs but my idea was dismissed even before it fully materialized)
Anyways.
I bought the book because I was SICK of watching Wall Street banker-type women crushed against cold steel of the 8am PATH trains - precarioulsy balancing their fat pocketbooks and Eat.Pray.Love. I got sick of seeing the hipster-y, creative, my-kind-of-girls reading that book at rando cafes on the LES. I got sick of watching college girls on the summer break sprawled on their sheets on Rittenhouse Square park reading this book. So when I went to BJ's to stock up on my supply of Mac'n'cheese and Scooby Doo Fruit Snacks -- the book, was just glaring at me from the vast sea of other cheaply priced books, almost guilting me into buying the book. It's almost like I couldn't continue to be the all-knowing culture=vulture until I had immersed myself in this eating/praying/loving movement. I absolutely stop myself from reading books that have suddenly swept have the nation because its just my stupid rebellion against conformity :P
Anyways.
I succumbed. Yes! I gave into the societal, cultural and whatever other pressures there are that make you feel dumb if you haven't succumbed to.
I haven't read the whole damn thing yet - but whatever I read (some 100 pages?) - I think the author didn't fully think through the name of the book. The sex part is important because even if she's denying it to herself, she wants it! And also, if you think about it on a philosophical level - eating, praying, loving and having sex go hand in hand, phrase in phrase.
Excuse my little diatribe, but I just you know.. wanted to point out that the title is sort of incomplete. Atleast i thought so. Maybe I won't once I finish the book - but even after, I'll think that had the title included my little phrase, it would have been a much more interesting book and less new agey.
Just thought I'd let you know incase anyone's listening :P
PS - The writing of the book is fantastic though. Really.
I really didnt know that.. well i think i got something new to try...

Hello!! I'm Theresa
Very interesting article.
Is good to enjoy our sexuality, but always taking care of our health. I recommend condom use to prevent disease and have more pleasure.
