Books that Make you Dumb

Here is a clever and entertaining idea--plotting the top 100 most popular books on facebook against SAT scores. Notice the smartest people read Atlas Shrugged and Freakonomics. Coincidence? I don't think so!

It's a little shocking and sad when you list the books by genre; the African American Literature books are all substantially closer to the bottom of the SAT score distribution.

So is the Bible. I don't think you can infer much of anything from this. But it's still pretty interesting.

That is a great site. I've only finished one book that is "dummer" than "I Don't Read."

I guess we know the average SAT score of BYU students.

I'd like to see the most popular books correlated with voting records.
