failings and fallibilty

This has been a really crummy couple of days. Rarely have I so fervently wished I had chosen a different career path.
( Enormous whinging here )

What I need is something to read to distract me from my career anxieties. And I am really anxious about this. Vibrating with anxiety. All recs welcomed. Please?

Plus, it's raining like stink. Again. With thunder and lightning and torrents of raging water in the streets. I don't want to drive home from school until it tapers off a bit.
