What a bunch of phonies we are. The Guardian reports about those books we say we read to impress others though, uh, well, we've never really read them.
Topping the list, George Orwell's novel 1984.
From the piece...
Asked if they had ever claimed to read a book when they had not, 65% of respondents said yes and 42% said they had falsely claimed to have read Orwell's classic in order to impress.
Not needing to impress you, but, well, I've read it a couple of times. Really. I have! You have to believe me!
