Newsweek shared information about a possible dream job for bookworms.

WordsRated, a research organization, is offering $200 to "bibliophiles-at-large" who are willing to read popular books and report back on certain characteristics in them. 

There's no limit on the number of books that you can read, either, so long as you're able to provide the data that WordsRated is seeking.

Some examples of those requests: the number of characters by gender, the number of sentences given to male characters versus female ones, how many questions are asked during the book, and what animals appear, among others.

Choices will come off the New York Times bestseller list.

Go to wordsrated.com for information on getting started with this gig.

I'm a little bit of a "bean counter," maybe from working in retail and government for years, and being the son of a banker. The number of some things can be very interesting to me.

I am a retired editor and ghostwriter so I am very interested in this and understand the dilemma.

I am currently an English teacher and will be switching to be a librarian starting next school year. I am a self-proclaimed book editor and find myself finding and cringing at errors in published texts quite often actually. This job seems like it would be up my alley, especially if I’m interested in the book.
