Books that make you dumb
This made the rounds on the Developer blogosphere I'm a part of,thought I'd share it out a bit. this is a small (yeah, small) versionof the graphic, click on it to get the larger version. Here's a linkto the larger version, that I marked up with the books I've read. Notsure if it's good or bad that I more or less run the spread. Though Iplace zero value on standardized testing so, take it for what it'sworth.
<update> I realized, I didn't really explain the image. I saw it on O'Reilly Radar, here's the explanation, "... He does this by cross referencing the 10 most popular books at everycollege, as given by Facebook, and the average SAT score. He thenpresents it all in this nifty little visualisation..."
</update>
I did find it strange the range of books, that made up the "list"
Kinda makes me sad that the likes of Dan Brown are even on it, and as much as I enjoyed "Five people..." really, it's on the list? Mitch sure has a formula, write a short, deep (matter of perspective I suppose) book, and it's a best seller, when others come out with truly monstrous tomes that never see the light of day, let alone the lights of Oprah's stage.
