I thought about this one (these topics are tricky) and thought, I don't lie about having read a book, if I've not read it I admit to it ....... then it dawned on me.... there is 1 book I have pretended to read .... Captain Corelli's Mandolin by Louis de Bernières. Apologies now to Nora my old A-Level English Lit tutor and I hate to burst your bubble but I don't think 1 person in my class actually read this set text.
It was a sunny summer if I recall - it was bad enough being sat in an English lesson discussing the book without spending time reading it outside.
I did pick it up, I did kinda skim read it for important words and sentences.... but more often then not .... I read the York Notes.
