But anyway! On to more important matters. Like real life.

Being an English major I've had to read a lot of books and analyze the shit out of them until I was cross-eyed. And I like thinky books! I do! But my brain needs a recharge before I read any more. Currently I'm trying to read A Hundred Years of Solitude and it's lovely but I think to myself, "I should sit down and try to read more of this book!" but then I go, LOL FALSE, so I haven't picked it up in... a long time.

SO MY REQUEST IS: please recommend to me REALLY GOOD BOOKS (or series! I WOULD LOVE SERIES), the kind you absolutely must finish and end up staying awake until 4am to do so. Because when I was younger I sped through at least five or six books before I'd beg my mom to take me back to the library. I want to do this again. :(

Also, I'm very much considering submitting myself to a staffing agency. But I'm a little terrified. Has anyone ever done this? Good experience? Bad experience? I just can't do Starbucks anymore. I can't I can't I can't.

Speaking of which, this is fucking ridiculous. Blah blah saving water, but SURE, OKAY, I'm glad that the general public will be receiving drinks that will have come into contact with nasty-ass, bacteria-ridden utensils while making it because LET ME TELL YOU HOW MANY STORES WILL SANITIZE THEIR PITCHERS EVERY TWO HOURS. Unless it's extremely, breathing-down-your-neck enforced, hardly anyone. People who have never worked as on-the-floor baristas can kindly stfu.
