29. Committed by Elizabeth Gilbert A three-in-a-row nonfiction streak! I think this is a new record for me. I'll confess, I never read Eat, Pray, Love . Maybe I'll get around to it one of these days. But this book has a much more interesting premise for me: What would you do if you had to get married? Let's back up. I'm not talking arranged marriage or marriage for money. Not even accidental pregnancy. Elizabeth Gilbert's situation is a little more unique. See, she's in love with a guy from Brazil with an Australian passport whom she met in Bali. He and she swore eternal love, they've been living together all over the world, and they've also sworn never to get married. Why? Both are survivors of bad divorces and don't trust the institution. Okay, so one day they arrive in the United States together and her Felipe, her love, is taken away. He's been coming to the US too often, it appears that he's in fact (gasp!) de facto living there...
