I'm startled by this story - I don't think I know anyone who'd lie about reading a book they hadn't.
Currently we're experiencing the 'cult of the dumb' in the UK - ignorance is cool, and knowledge is intimidating.
I could understand my fellow Brits pretending they can't read, but claiming to have read books they haven't surprises me.
