Books That Make You Dumb

Since nobody is reading anything anymore except text-messages and blogs, then we guess it shouldn't matter which books make you smart and which make you dumb, at least according to this guy (link via Blog of a Bookslut). We prefer literature to statistics. After puzzling over this chart for a very long ten minutes, we still don't fully understand it or this list, which is supposed to explain the graph. Back to our lunchtime sandwich companion reading, currently Love in a Time of Cholera. We delight in it. Gabriel Garcia Marquez never fails to satisfy.
