Michiko Kakutani

Michiko Kakutani has the best job out there, or one of them.  I would love to have her jobs: she reads books on different topics and reviews them for the Times.  But most importantly: she is brilliant at her job, the sexist criticisms of Rushdie and Mailer and others of her notwithstanding.  I have enjoyed her reviews of some books more than the books themselves.
