A new survey in Britain reveals the fact that many adults lie about having read highbrow books to impress others with their intelligence. So what books do adults in Britain lie about having read? They are:
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
What an incredibly odd list of books to lie about. Who lies about having read Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus? That's just ridiculous. We routinely lie by claiming that we've never even heard of that book.
