This may lead to the downfall of society and literacy, but you get paid! The service you provide is simple, read a book, completely, for the customer and then report the contents in their chosen fashion. The service is anchored on a website that connects the patrons to the service providers and exchanges

The blurb about the author is more soporific than the copyright statement. |

There's a recent IOT on Mrs Dalloway that provides this kind of service. |

it. |
