In Swami Soup by Valerie Gilbert, the journey continues with new episode from Gilbert's fascinating life. I loved the book. It was sad, funny, and thought-provoking all at once. Like her first two books, Raving Violet and Memories, Dreams, & Deflections, Swami Soup is a collection of essays about events in Gilbert's life and her thoughts and reflections on these events. We run the gamut the hilarious to the heartbreaking. Gilbert tells all in her sassy, intrepid, New Yorker style.

Swami Soup is a riot. Gilbert's honest, insightful, and self-depreciating appraisal of events in her life help to put many things in perspective. At least for me. I find that when my world has gone to s**t and I am miserable and depressed, I can pick up one of Gilbert's books and pull myself out of the dumps.
