Literary Story Analyst

Was reading THIS blog post today and skimming pretty fast, but then thought, "WHAT? What did I just read?" Backed up and read this:

"Over a twenty year period, I read Jane Austen's novels literally thousands of times. Why this obsession? Because my job at Warner Bros. Studios, where I work as the literary story analyst, reading novels to see if they would make movies, means that my day is filled with reading modern commercial fiction."

What? Did you read what her DAY JOB is?

She is a literary story analyst. She reads NOVELS to see if they would make MOVIES.

They pay people to do that?! I WANNA DO IT!!!!

So, if you know me at all, you know I did a google search. This book came up and I've just requested it at the library. Careers for Bookworms and Other Literary Types

Also found this description of the job from the LA Times.

Still in awe - READING NOVELS TO SEE IF THEY WOULD MAKE MOVIES....

But, we can't move to California. Anyone following the homeschool situation there!? Terrible!
