andrewduckerInteresting article here called "Books and Music that Make You Dumb", linking the music and book tastes of students with the average SAT score of their university entrants.
Obviously it's dubious as all hell - but it's still amusing to see "Tuesdays with Morrie" outranked by "Life of Pi" which is in turn outranked by "Atlas Shrugged" (favourite book of the lone embittered intellectual too lazy to actually _climb_ their local clocktower).
The original sites are down - but you can find the books here and the music here.
