Chart of the correlation between ‘favourite books’ and SAT scores among college students. Interesting: Lolita is the smartest book ever. Amusing: listing “I don’t read” suggests you’re smarter than someone who lists “The Holy Bible”. Depressing: as they’re divided here, “African American” is the dumbest genre. I’m not sure I see why it (or ‘Chick Lit’) is even a genre. Surprising: Fahrenheit 451 is one of the dumbest books ever. Shameful: I’ve only read one book listed here. But: it is the fourth smartest.
