Anyway, I liked your metaphors better - and your review definitely made me want to give this book a try!

And you can't vacation that way, you really have to immerse yourself for months at a time. I'd love to think that I'd be up to the "challenge" :) Alice - I read your post on the reading; sounds like a fun event, and you had some surprise connections while you were there ... always a bonus! Lorin - I've seen the movie, but it was several (many?) years ago. I'd have to re-read the memoir, then re-view the movie to be able to compare (thank goodness for blogging, or I'd never remember what I read!) Jenners – no kidding, huh?!

I don't really remember too much of a plot in Under the Tuscan Sun, though. Rebuilding the house, yes, but it was pretty loose (the movie's plot was kind of pulled out of air, I thought).

Read it outdoors with a glass of your favorite (whatever!) Julie - I haven't tried any yet, but they seem do-able. Darlene - I'm glad you're enjoying it, too bermudaonion - it really is! I was expecting it to to be more linear, like UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN was ... once I got used to the format I sunk right into it. Margot - that explains all my snacking lately :) Melissa - I haven't read BELLA TUSCANY, so I can't give any comparison. This is definitely a different format than UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN; flip thru it at the bookstore Beth F - but will you store it in the memoir section or cookbooks? (in your home library) Lenore - I'm glad your trip is going to work out; yes, between these two books, I'm gnawing constantly softdrink - carbs within carbs ... washed down with carbs! Kari - I'm a homebody living variously thru this memoir Anna - do! And you must read UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN zibilee - definitely has me yearning to plant a small garden this year (my son has been asking for a few seasons, so I'll have a willing helper) Jeannie – yes!
