I read this article a few months ago (and then stuck it in my idea list for those days when the blog just isn't flowing).

Most Britons have lied about the books they read

Um. Say what? For the life of me, I cannot understand Why you would lie about reading a book!

"the main reason was to impress the person they were speaking to."

*rolls eyes* Why not impress someone with your _actual_ knowledge about stuff you enjoy?

Well, whatever. The number one book to lie about is Orwell's 1984. That's a really good book, and I really did read it! You can too: George-Orwell.org
