Guns, Germs and Squeal

A US government study found that the number of books in a child's house is a strong predictor of the child's academic success. Dad read this on the back label of a Dolly Madison fried pie and went out and bought all these (that's me - lower left). Results have disapointed as I have failed thus far to author a unified field theory. Will someone get dad to stop reading "Guns, Germs and Steel" to me?
