文档介绍：读《EAT&PRAY&LOVE》BY ELIZABETH GILBERT
FROM JUNE TO SEPTEMBER IN 2015
从没有过读完一本书后,像经历了一场精神的洗礼。这是我第一本完全读完的英文原著,所以它对于我的意义是里程碑式的。如果不是这本书,我不会发现原来旅行游记可以是一场心灵旅程的记述;如果不是这本书,我不会发现原来真的有人可以在看书的时候忍不住乐得笑出声来...对于这本书的总评价,我想引用《华盛顿邮报》的评价:
"Readalbe,funny...By the time she and her lover sailed into a Bali sunset,Gilbert had won me 's a gutsy gal,this Liz,flaunting her psychic wounds and her search for faith in a pop-culture world."
旅行的结尾,作者和比她长将近10岁的巴西男友Flipe融化在美好的夕阳中。菲利佩说道:“So I was thinking...maybe we could try to build a life together that's somehow divided between America,Australia,Brazil and Bali."当作者将要结束这场寻找真实自我的旅行,回到美国。我想不到比这更好的结局。
一年前,作者深陷婚姻的泥淖。还记得她半夜难过得睡不着,跪在洗手间的地板上哭泣,并且渐渐依赖起抗抑郁药物。离开丈夫后,她遇见了一个土生土长的纽约男生:Street-smart,independent,vegetarian,foul-mouthed,spiritual, first time my best friend Susan heard me talking about him,she took one look at the high fever in my face and said to me,"Oh my god,baby,you are in so much trouble..."最后,她和david都承认没有办法在继续在一起,虽然仍都深爱着彼此。带着一颗零零碎碎的心:和丈夫离婚,在官司中丢了在纽约的大房子,和爱人分手...这一切,都让她做了一个一生最勇敢的决定:去旅行,在路上寻找真正的自己。

36 tales about the pursuit of Pleasure...
Starting with "I wish Giovanni would kiss me..."GIOVANNI是作者在意大利几乎是最棒的朋友。因为喜欢意大利语的发音,作者跑到自己喜欢的意大利,边追寻愉悦,边学****意大利语。当一个人觉得自己深陷困境,毫无归属感的时候,鼓起勇气跑到自己向往的国度用美食和风景,还有各色的人装点自己的生活是多么妙的一件事!Back in New York,I have been known to anic goat's milk yoghurt sprinkled with wheat germ for
