Books that make you dumb
S. is going to love this. This guy, Virgil, who aspires to “become the #1 hit on Google for the query ‘ virgil ‘, has data-mined Facebook to create Booksthatmakeyoudumb. Basically, he and a friend manually collected schools’ top-ten lists for books, and charted them by their average SAT and ACT scores. There are some obvious flaws here, but as Virgil tells you, that’s totally besides the point. [librarian.net]
