Books that make you dumb: a chart of Average SAT scores vs. most popular books among college students [h/t Boing Boing]. Some aren’t surprising to me, such as Freakonomics, Catch 22, and Atlas Shrugged being near the top. On the other hand, I’m astonished at Fahrenheit 451 appearing near the bottom.
There are also charts sorted by genre, which show a high correlation between genre and SAT scores, albeit with some outliers.
