Starschmucks & Book Meme

I have a beef with Starbucks (don't we all*). I'm not a coffee drinker, so I can't speak to the quality of their goods, but when they take over every campus-run drink dispensing unit so that I have to pay 27 CENTS for a crappy paper cup to use MY OWN TEA BAG and get FREE HOT WATER so I can have tea in the morning I just want to beat them all about the head with stinky dead fish! 27 CENTS for a freaking CUP that's too hot to hold unless you use their crappy carboard wrapper! I am overflowing with Squirrelly Wrath!

I was tagged by Carole. Now... if there were more books about history on here, I'd probably have read a greater portion of them. :)

I've seen this meme floating around blogland, and I'm always curious why people would say they would never read a book. I'm interested in reading ANY book. It might not be high on my priority list, but I'd still read it if I had it and didn't have anything else I'd rather read. Oh, and if you want to be tagged, yoink it.

*I highly suggest watching "Squirrel Songs", and the content relevant ones are "Small, Medium, Large" and "Coffee House Propaganda". I can't get them to link individually. Don't click if you don't like curse words and crazy talkative squirrels named Foamy :)
