Fewer books by Elizabeth Gilbert is a good thing. I can’t believe the cult-like devotion the dreadful “Eat Pray Love” has achieved. This wasn’t a journey of self-discovery — she went into the journey with a book contract, then has all these highly dubious personal epiphanies, all neatly timed to fulfill that contract.
