From Great Britain, the "Top Ten Books we lie about reading". Top of the list: The Lord of the Rings.
Most people expand on their literary repertoire to impress a new date, 15 percent have lied about the books they have read to a new colleague and five percent have told porkies about their reading habits to their employer.The younger generation is out to impress the most, with more than half of 19 to 21 year olds expanding the truth about the books they read. But they are also most likely to get caught out, with one in ten 19 to 21 year olds tripping up when quizzed about a book they lied about reading.
How would a U.S. survey differ?
