We all know that correlation isn't causation, but its still fun.

From Erotica to Classics, Sci-Fi and Philosophy...



"recent studies show a direct correlation between alcohol consumption
and poor grades in college"

Well it certainly made me curious so I went to the web site.

It lists all the colleges from which the data was drawn.

If the majority of a college hosts in-state students, we can get
a picture of the most popular books in that state. For example,
reading "The Great Gatsby" seems to be a must if you intend to be a
student in Illinois.

It's also interesting because the data serves as a icebreaker when
traveling. Check out the most popular books in a state and bring up
the books that you've read which are most likely to have been read by
a person in the state to which you are traveling.

Perhaps that's a redeeming quality that semi makes up for the lack in
the study's validity.

Interesting!

I liked the Great Gatsby, Pride and Prjudice, but did not see Moby Dick, the Calamander Chest, or The Raven. I didn't see anything about those that enjoy short stories, poetry and poetic works. Examples Edgar Allan Poe and Joseph Payne Brennan.

Interesting. My favorites are all over the place, but my SATS were above 1250 when I took them.
