Oh this is very exciting indeed. I was an early-adopter of Elizabeth Gilbert’s (if you haven’t read “The Last American Man” – it’s good) and the Eat, Pray, Love phenomena, but after hearing her speak in Marin last year and seeing the industry that she’s made of herself, I am NOT her biggest fan.

I use Facebook more than Twitter, but I guess either way I’m self-indulgent. However, I can sleep at night knowing that I could *never* be as much of a fame-whore as Elizabeth Gilbert is.
I was not an early-adopter of Eat, Pray, Love — I hated every page of that wretched book. She was so consumed with her own being that before she even started her travels, I understood why her husband divorced her. I’m thrilled to be able to read his side of the story.
