Rachel, a bookworm? Well . . . just think of her as a friend helping a friend.

Jennifer Aniston's character on NBC's "Friends" is catching up on her reading to call attention to a pal's new book. Rachel has already been seen ignoring her ex-boyfriend Ross (David Schwimmer) by burying her nose in a copy of "Anthem: An American Road Story," published by Avon Books. Aniston's friend Kristin Hahn wrote the book with Shainee Gabel.Rachel will be seen perusing the book in future episodes.

"It takes Rachel a lot longer than a week to read a book, so I'll be able to stretch this one out for the next couple months," Aniston said.
