Any of you seen this?

Apparently using what people listed on their Facebook as their favorite books and the school's SAT data, they created this chart.

Pretty interesting.

Interesting but probably totally irrelevant since the SAT scores are averages as are the books so there's not a good correlation established.

It's also depressing that the scale only goes up to 1400 haha.

Most the books I mention are on the right hand side though :cool:

lol @ the bible being on the left, especially the holy one.

I realize it's nothing amazing, just kind of fun to look at.

Why is the Bible on there twice? :confused:

Also, this study is clearly flawed considering how high the book of Mormons is...not to mention the fact that Fahrenheit 451 is as low as it is.

No Fahrenheit 451 is a terrible book dude.

Ok, but it's better than alot of the stuff it's behind and is at least somewhat intelligent compared to...oh...I dunno...Harry Potter?

Gice, I got 1360 (of 1600) on the old SAT.

I guess I don't read books or anything? I'm reading A Game of Thrones atm.

one big problem is the assumption that good grades mean you're smart. There are tons of tards on my course and you have to be a straight A student to get into it.

I hate Of Mice And Men. Do I get bonus points or something?

You should do. That book caused me to fall asleep in an English lesson.

no fahrenheit 451 being so low confirms this scale as accurate
