Story about designer of custom reading lists

December 7, 2008 2:41 PM

Looking for the name of a story about a person who has the job of designing book lists customized to individuals to get them loving reading again. Sometimes the choices are counterintuitive. Some books I seem to recall on the lists: The Stand, Color Me Pretty. There may also be a romantic angle with one of the clients. Not sure if it's a novel or a short story.
