Today I heard on the radio that the most common books that people pretend to have read but haven't really are: 1. Lord Of The Rings 2. War and Peace 3. 1984 4. Men are From Mars Women Are From Venus 5. Wuthering Heights. Anyone ever told a fib about having read a book - Come on fess up I won't say a word !!! lol OR has anyone actually truthfully read any of these?I have read truthfully ....... Wuthering Heights and 1984 xx I can't remember the exact percentage of people that admitted in the survery to having lied about reading a certain book but it was pretty high !!! |

I did actually lie once about reading a book - it was at school and it was my half term homework. Kept saying 'will read it tomorrow' and never got round to it. It was Lord Of The Flies by William Golding. So the night before I went back to school I got the film out from the local video shop and watched that instead of reading the book (naughty I know)Have to say I have actually now read it as it was one of the books in my book group lol xx |

I might lie about reading some books soon though Muffy lol, my OH is a fan of the Dune books and has been nagging me for years to read them. I started one last week and am only a couple of chapters into the first book and there is 14 in the series so far, I am really struggling to read it, they are not my cup of tea at all. Jackiexx |

I have read Wuthering Heights and have a copy of the book on my bookshelf to read again at some point. I started reading LOTR in 1995 and it has ever since sat on the bookcase with a book mark in about about three chapters in as I could not get into it (found the Hobbit a real chore to get through)- I did like the movies. I have never lied about reading a book, but have done a essay book report (got full marks too) for a book I had not finished at the time - The Day of the Triffids. I have to say I enjoy reading these days and get through an average four hundred page book in one or two weeks depending how entertaining/interesting I find it. At school I hated reading as I did not like being forced to read a book I did not particular like. Michelle |
