It sounds like self indulgent crap to me!!! Would'nt it be nice to have enough money to quit your job and go on a trip around the world...Gee I feel so sorry for her!
That's exactly what I thought, the fact that she has the ability/money to drop everything and indulge herself for a year means she probably doesn't have half of what the rest of us do to bitch and moan about (cry me a river, chic). I'm really between a rock and a hard place right now in my life, but I'm reading The Original Scroll (Jack's Kerouac's non-edited version of On the Road). That is a book with I guess you could say a similar theme in that of travel, but he didn't I really dig his style. It's a fun escape for me to read it and unlike "Eat, Pray, Love," there wasn't much eating, but rather a loaf of bread if he was lucky and a lot of hitchhiking and buses, but he always seemed to manage and have a good time. Sorry, for the tangent, but if I'm going to read something along this line, I know which book I would suggest, although I feel very contradicted even comparing his literary classic to her book. Also, I apologize for the late night rambling typing, I need to hit the sheets.

I read the book (no interest in the movie), and the author received an advance for writing this book while on sabbatical, in order to afford the trip.

That's interesting to know and explains a little bit, but still, most of us still wouldn't be afforded that luxury.
Edit: Wow, I just read my post from last night, what the hell? I sounded drunk as a skunk, a couple of my sentences make no sense, oh well...

Agreed!
A note to EVERYONE avoid this flick!
The sound tract was the best part of the movie. A few Vedder tunes, an Uncle Neil tune ....
