Read about another entry on the list.Eat, Pray, Love, by Elizabeth Gilbert
This one feels a little like cheating, because Gilbert’s very successful career as a novelist seems to have begun after she’d already received a National Book Award nomination for her phenomenally successful, Julia-Roberts-film-spawning memoir Eat, Pray, Love. But little did you know that before she wowed readers and critics alike with last year’s The Signature of All Things, she published another novel—2000′s Stern Men. Regardless, there’s no denying the fact that Eat, Pray, Love is an intensely compelling story, and Gilbert’s search for physical, spiritual, and emotional fulfillment across three continents has likely unofficially sponsored more than one midlife crisis.
Eat, Pray, Love is among Melissa Albert's eight books to change a villain, Jill Halfpenny's six best books, Deborah Batterman's six books with three word titles, and Sophie Thompson's six best books.
