  • Booksthatmakeyoudumb figured out the correlation between the ten most popular books at colleges as listed on Facebook and the average SAT scores for students at those colleges, and the result: people reading Atlas Shrugged aren’t as good at taking standardized tests as people reading Lolita. Which might not be that damning, when you think about it. Also note the difference between “The Bible” and “The Holy Bible.”
  • Nathan Rabin’s Year of Flops: Rabin watched 104 films that failed to earn and sorted them into successes, fiascos and failures - the reviews are a little giddy, but the list itself is informationally dense. I’ve seen fifteen of the 104 and will probably now check out It’s All About Love. I always wondered what happened to Thomas Vinterberg.

    The Holy Bible kids scored lower than the “I don’t read” kids. Fabulous!
