1 Down, 11 To Go


One of my goals for 2012 is to read twelve books this year.  And I don't mean non-fiction books, self-help books, or anything related to work or school.  I need something that will take me away to another place, something that I look forward to reading every night, something that I just don't want to put down.  That being said, I just finished my first book of the year.

Eat, Pray, LoveEat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this book, particularly the second and third sections on India and Indonesia, respectively.  I felt that these two sections really spoke to my heart and that there may really be a take-home message there.  This book has especially encouraged me to look into including meditation into my prayer life.  I'm looking forward to reading the "sequel", Weddings and Evictions .

Next up on the reading list: The Agony and the Ecstasy by Irving Stone
