Finally, I'm done. It took me so long to finish "Eat, Love, Pray". Not that it wasn't good. It just didn't have a story line.. like a climax or plot to it. It was more about her (Elizabeth Gilbert) trying to find herself after having traveled to three countries, Italy, India and Indonesia. Anyway, I've dog-eared so many pages because there were really good quotes - some that I've shared already. Here is just another one of my favorite quotes:
"Destiny, I feel, is also a relationship - a play between divine grace and willful self-effort. Half of it you have no control over; half of it is absolutely in your hands, and your actions will show measurable consequence. Man is neither entirely a puppet of the gods, nor is he entirely the captain of his own destiny; he's a little of both. We gallp through our lives like circus performers balancing on two speeding side-by-side hourses - one foot is on the horse called "fate," the other on the hourse called "free will." And the question you have to ask every day is - which horse is which? Which horse do I need to stop worrying about because it's not under my control, which do I need to steer with concentrated effort?"
My current book that I'm reading is "Queen of Babble" by Meg Cabot. I've only read like 10 pages and I'm really liking it. The 2nd page had me laughing hella loud while my carpooler was driving. She must've thought I was wierd.
