Dream Job

Newsweek reports that London's new Andaz Liverpool Street Hotel has hired a reader-in-residence.  He's journalist Damian Barr of The Times, who recently had a manicure with Paris Hilton's mom.  What does a reader-in-residence do?  He recommends books, joins guests for meals to discuss books, and is even available for in-room reading sessions.

Hey, what about me?   I love reading.  I get great satisfaction out of someone enjoying a book I've recommended. 

I live only a few blocks from a Four Seasons Hotel.  I might check with the hotel manager and see if a job posting is imminent.

Hey, I have a job like that. I'm a housewife. I get manicures all the time. I recommend books, talk about books at dinner parties, and though I don't as a rule follow people to their bedrooms I do keep it up at lacrosse games, safeway, bunco, etc....but oh yeah, I forgot, I live in Danville so I guess I'm just talkin to my freakin self

Bill, you want to go into guests rooms wearing a trenchcoat?

Sophie, I took a look at #4's fingernails this AM and gave him a manicure. Maybe that will give me a leg up.
