Re claiming that one never lied about reading a book:
-- Isn't that what the people who DO lie about reading books say?
-- No one has total recall. Even if I am telling the truth that it is out of character for me doesn't mean I didn't once, or twice, or three times, act out of character, and forget it all the more quickly because of it.
-- Lying is super common. I don't consider myself any more of a liar than the next person. No way I remember all my lies. And that's the truth
