I have said "That is a classic book, and I might have read it in school, but if I did I don't remember it. It also doesn't sound interesting to me." I am pretty up front about things like that. But the number of times the topic has come up I can probably count on two hands, maybe one.
Now I have been asked if I read "insert name here" just to see if I know anything about it and if I think they would like it, but that's different. Usually I haven't and most of the time I have no clue what book they are talking about.
