			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>That is clearly a lie.  But apparently &#8220;I don&#8217;t read&#8221; is a popular response to one&#8217;s favorite books on Facebook.  (While I may have succumbed to MySpace, I cannot cross over into even more life-sucking time on Facebook.)  Check out the interesting data collected by <a href="http://virgil.gr/">Virgil</a> in regards to what books smart people read.  Ok, no.  It&#8217;s what books people with high SAT scores on Facebook read.  I&#8217;m fascinated.  If you haven&#8217;t already seen it, I present to you: <a href="http://booksthatmakeyoudumb.virgil.gr/" title="books that make you dumb">Books that make you dumb.</a></p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know <a href="http://virgil.gr/">Virgil</a>, but I like him.  What&#8217;s not to like?  Geek, cute, interested in books.  FTW!</p>
<p>I suppose it&#8217;s interesting to note that my favorite books aren&#8217;t on the list.  Hmmm.  I&#8217;m off the scale, one way or another.  I wish I remembered my exact SAT score.  I do know that I scored more than 100 points higher on the non-math side&#8230;</p>
<p>For the record, some of my favorite books are:</p>
<ul>
<li><i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Game-Thrones-Song-Fire-Book/dp/0553381687/thephilosophf-20" title="book 1">A Song</a> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Clash-Kings-Song-Fire-Book/dp/0553381695/thephilosophf-20" title="book 2">Of Ice</a> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Storm-Swords-Song-Fire-Book/dp/055357342X/thephilosophf-20" title="book 3">and</a> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Feast-Crows-Song-Ice-Fire/dp/0553582038/thephilosophf-20" title="book 4">Fire</a></i> (series) by <a href="http://www.georgerrmartin.com/" title="still not finished">George R.R. Martin</a></li>
<li><i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Invisible-Man-Ralph-Ellison/dp/0679732764/thephilosophf-20" title="Invisible Man">Invisible Man</a></i> by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Ellison" title="trading twelves with me">Ralph Ellison</a></li>
<li><i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Sparrow-Mary-Doria-Russell/dp/0449912558/thephilosophf-20" title="it's not about Captain Jack">The Sparrow</a></i> by <a href="http://www.marydoriarussell.info/" title="thanks Jess">Mary Doria Russell</a></li>
<li><i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Declare-Tim-Powers/dp/0380798360/thephilosophf-20" title="declare">Declare</a></i> by <a href="http://www.theworksoftimpowers.com/" title="tim powers">Tim Powers</a></li>
</ul>
<p>In completely un-related news, did y&#8217;all see <i>Cloverfield</i>?  I&#8217;ve heard that I&#8217;d like it, but that since <i>Blair Witch</i>&#8217;s camera movement made me nauseous, I might not make it through a theater showing of this flick.  If you did see it and you liked the music, you can grab <a href="http://www.hypeful.com/2008/01/21/robs-party-mix-from-cloverfield/" title="rob's mix from cloverfield">Rob&#8217;s party mix from Cloverfield</a>.</p>
