Lying about books

Kottke points out an interesting list of books people lie about having read.

I’ve read all of numbers 1, 4, 6, and 10.

The only one I ever lied about was number one. I read about half of it in high school and told people I’d read it for several years. Then I realized I needed to read the whole thing.

On a side note, I can’t believe Jason did not get past page 20 of The Selfish Gene. I think Richard Dawkins is a pompous, arrogant snoot and I don’t subscribe to his devotion to Darwinist explanations for all evolution, BUT I think the writing is compelling.

What books have you lied about reading?
