The restaurant’s passing was not completely unexpected. Friends of the Doodle said the restaurant — considered by many to be a historic Yale landmark — had fallen on hard times and was struggling to maintain its business in the face of rising costs and a steadily declining patronage.

Book Description
This beautifully written, heartfelt memoir touched a nerve among both readers and reviewers. Elizabeth Gilbert tells how she made the difficult choice to leave behind all the trappings of modern American success (marriage, house in the country, career) and find, instead, what she truly wanted from life. Setting out for a year to study three different aspects of her nature amid three different cultures, Gilbert explored the art of pleasure in Italy and the art of devotion in India, and then a balance between the two on the Indonesian island of Bali. By turns rapturous and rueful, this wise and funny author (whom Booklist calls "Anne Lamott's hip, yoga- practicing, footloose younger sister") is poised to garner yet more adoring fans.
Time
"An engaging, intelligent, and highly entertaining memoir. "
Los Angeles Times
"A meditation on love in its many forms�love of food, language, humanity, God, and most meaningful for Gilbert, love of self. "
The Yale Book Club is a rotating event. We will be taking book suggestions at this meeting and asking for volunteers to host the next book club.

After three decades of deregulation in the electricity, gas delivery, and telecom industries, Professor Paul W. MacAvoy concludes that deregulation has failed. In his latest book, The Unsustainable Costs of Partial Deregulation, MacAvoy explores how we arrived at a system of partial deregulation, why it doesn't work, and what policies could now encourage competition and improve market efficiencies.
Paul W. MacAvoy is the Williams Brothers Professor Emeritus of Management Studies and former dean of the Yale School of Management. He served as a member of the Council of Economic Advisers in the Ford administration, and is the author of fifteen books, including The Natural Gas Market: Sixty Years of Regulation and Deregulation, published by Yale University Press. Join us for what promises to be an enlightening evening with fellow alumni and one of Yale's most well-known professors.
