i finished reading drink play f@#k - and it was hilarious. i haven't read eat pray love, so i don't have that comparison, but i feel like one would get more out of it even... unless you love girly books. then... sorry.
the tagline hit me "One man’s spiritual journey to rediscover how much he hates spiritual journeys"
so I read the publishers summary review. so. true:
"What’s a guy supposed to do when eight years of marriage end in a nasty divorce? How does he rediscover his manly essence after years of being forced to attend poetry readings, string quartet recitals, and pasta making courses? There is only one way: drink, play, and f@#k.In Drink, Play, F@#k, Bob Sullivan, jilted husband, sets off to explore the world, have a few laughs, and kill a few brain cells. From his home in New York City, he goes on a bender across Ireland, pumps the action in Las Vegas, and basks in physical pleasures in Thailand. After a lifetime of playing it safe, he lives out man’s great fantasies. For who among us hasn’t dreamed of a drunken knife-throwing contest outside a Dublin pub? What could be more exhilarating than losing every penny you have because an Australian rules football team did something at the last second you don’t even understand? And what sensate creature could ever doubt that the greatest pleasure known to man can be found in a tropical hut on a secret beach at the end of an unnamed jungle road? Mr. Sullivan has a lot to teach us about life. Let’s just pray we have the wisdom to put aside our preconceptions and listen. Because what he finds, with the help of his guru Rick, who sometimes sleeps in the bathroom at the YMCA, isn’t at all what he expected. "
and now the movie? amazing...
so as usual, i'll leave you with a quote:
"craic is the kind of fun you have at 2 in the morning when you're so toasted you can barely stand and someone suggests that you all go outside for a knife throwing contest and every single one of you thinks this is an awesome idea"
