I freely admit that I didn't read the vast majority of my high school reading lists. I found English to be a terrible subject because I wanted to know how to write well and instead, they just had you read tons of boring material on the (incorrect) presumption that if you read well written books, you will write well. Then in 1st year univeristy, I took a technical writing course and learned what I wanted to know.
I am far more apt to lie about not having read books that I actually did read. And I am not about to disclose those books...
