I'm in a book club and it's been interesting to see who picks what. Yes, we read Eat, Pray, Love. My pick was A Spot of Bother. I also highly recommend The Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri (Winner of the Pulitzer Prize). I also enjoyed reading White Tiger, which was the pick of my friend Lesley's book club in England. Since I was going to be there when their book club met, I read the book. Very interesting indeed. <em>Thanks! Great recommendations. They are going on my "to-read" list for 2010.
