		<description><![CDATA[Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman’s Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia by Elizabeth Gilbert really motivated me to meditate more. I had a strong desire to go to a meditation camp where all I’ll do is cleanse myself and meditate. Then I will be ready to come back recharged to enjoy this beautiful world more thoroughly.

		<description><![CDATA[I just couldn't put down Snow Flower and The Secret Fan by Lisa See.  I read this book in three days.  Chinese domestic life in nineteenth century is so intriguing.  I thank God that I didn't have to bear the torment of footbinding.  Also, the concept of laotong is interesting.  All of us need a friend who is like a sister or a brother and with whom we can share most of our inner thoughts.

		<description><![CDATA[I felt that Maya Angelou in 'The Heart of a Woman' has indeed opened her heart to the reader.  She seems to be honestly revealing her feelings without any fear of being judged.  I don't know how do people like her are able to write an autobiography with such honesty.

		<description><![CDATA[Following encouraging words from 'The Secret Life of BeesThe Secret Life of Bees' by Sue Monk Kidd are so accurate: "You have to find a mother inside yourself. We all do. Even if we already have a mother, we still have to find this part of ourselves inside." That's insightful.

		<description><![CDATA[I enjoyed reading "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" by Betty Smith. I lived in Brooklyn for three years.  Hence I felt an instant connection and was attracted to this novel as soon as I read the title.  What a courageous story!  I think highly of the characters of Katie Nolan and Francie Nolan.  Aunt Sissy was my favorite character as she made me laugh a lot.

		<description><![CDATA[It was enchanting to read 'I Don't Know How She Does It' by Allison Pearson. She discloses the complexity of a mother trying to balance between family life and a full-time high profile career.  The point is that it's not possible.
