3410 The 10 books no one would lie about
Why would anyone lie and say they'd read these books but didn't? I can see people lying about reading anything, but these? According to a story at 24dash.com , Brits do.
1. The Lord of the Rings - J.R.R Tolkien
2. War and Peace - Leo Tolstoy
3. Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte
4. Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus - John Gray
5. 1984 - George Orwell
6. Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone - J.K Rowling
7. Great Expectations - Charles Dickens
8. Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte
9. The Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown
10.Diary of Anne Frank - Anne Frank
I read War and Peace, parts of it in Russian, and saw a couple of versions of the movie. I read the John Gray book--I think I got it for $.50 at a used book sale. This reminds me, our book club is reading Great Expectations by Dickens for February, and I haven't started it yet. No lie. And I think it will be my first Dickens book. My background in American and British literature is the pits.
HT Readers Read.
I've read "Men are from Mars, Women ar from Venus", "1984", and "Diary of Anne Frank". The rest I have not read, but should. Not sure why you'd lie about it though.
