Having one child who consistently exceeded the 25 list by 10 every year and graduated early, at the top of her class, and one child who is a sports enthusiast, an average student who has read only a handful of books in his whole life.......I have to say the sports son is waaaayyy more popular than the bookworm daughter ever was. And sad to say, she stopped reading as much when she realized it wasn't gaining her any popularity.

I read in great quantities and I'm relatively popular. Granted, most of the other kids don't read outside of homework.
