Gods & Money #1 Word Is "Body"

Found this word counter web site through surfing Kelli Russell Agodon's blog.  So I decided to run the text of my forthcoming book, Gods & Money.

The results?

There's a good reason why "camel" and "poem" are so high on the list, but you'll have to read the book to see why.

  2. The word counter web site also has a "political" orientation meter. My book was categorized as "neutral." I can't figure that one at all . . . .
