(Woohoo! I count myself a huge fan and can&#8217;t wait.) In &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2009\/08\/20\/books\/20book.html?_r=1&amp;ref=arts\" target=\"_blank\">Eat, Pray, Love. Then What? Get Married<\/a>,&#8221; Motoko Rich writes the following:<br \/>\n&#8220;A year after completely scrapping a 500-page follow-up to &#8220;Eat, Pray, Love,&#8221; Elizabeth Gilbert&#8217;s mega-best-selling spiritual travelogue, she has delivered a new book that Viking will publish in January. Titled &#8220;Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace With Marriage,&#8221; the book is a memoir of a tumultuous year that came 18 months after &#8220;Eat, Pray, Love&#8221; leaves off, as well as a meditation on wedlock.&#8221;<br \/>\nIn &#8220;Comitted,&#8221; Gilbert, who swore never to marry again in &#8220;Eat, Pray, Love,&#8221; reflects on how she came to marry again&#8211;the man she takes up with at the end of &#8220;Eat, Pray, Love&#8221;&#8211;as well as explores the institution of marriage in general through interviews with family members, friends, and others.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nI, for one, cannot wait. Though I worry I&#8217;ll miss the newly single, spiritual wanderer we meet in &#8220;Eat, Pray, Love&#8221; in this new memoir, I have faith that Gilbert will pull off something wonderful, simply because she is such an exquisite, funny writer. I&#8217;m also looking forward to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0879870\/\">movie version of &#8220;Eat, Pray, Love&#8221; starring Julia Roberts<\/a> as Elizabeth Gilbert, forthcoming some time in late 2010\/early 2011.<br \/>\nDid you like &#8220;Eat, Pray, Love&#8221;? Or are you one of those people who love to hate Ms. Gilbert? Are you looking forward to reading &#8220;Committed&#8221; in January?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, the New York Times ran an article announcing that Elizabeth Gilbert&#8217;s long awaited and much anticipated sequel to her bestselling spiritual memoir, &#8220;Eat, Pray, Love&#8221; is at the publisher and is officially due out in January of 2010.
