First of all, three cheers for Rachel!!! It's great that she still loves 
reading in this age of images and sound bites.

I can't think of a specific word, but I hope that she can quit waiting 
on tables soon and get into a career where reading would be an integral 
part -- maybe college professor. Anyway, I wish her luck!
