It happened to me recently.Iwas telling someone how much Ihad enjoyed reading Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President.A friend Iwas talking to agreed with me that it was ,in his words,“a brilliantly(精彩地)written book”.however,he then went on to talk abour Mr Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all .Isensed that Iwas talking to a book liar.

And it seems that my friend is not the only one.Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t .In the World Book Day’s“Report on Guilty Secrets”,Dreams From My Father is at number 9.The report lists ten books,and various authors,which people have lied about reading,and as I’m not one to lie too often (I’d hate to be caught out ),I’lladmit here and now that I haven’t read the entire top ten .But I am pleased to say that,unlike 42 percent of peoplt,I have read the book at number one ,George Orwell’s 1984.I think it’s really brilliant.

The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it.It says that many people lie about having read jane Austen,Charles Dickens,Fyodor Dostoevsky(I haven’t read him,but haven’t lied about it either )and Herman Melville.

A sked why they lied,the most common reason was to“impress”someone they were speaking to.This coule be tricky if the conversation became more in –depth!

But when asked which authors they actually enjoy,people named J.k.Rowling,John Grisham,Sophie Kinsella(ah,the big sellers,in other words).Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story(I’ll come clean:I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never dome so).

64.How did the author find his friend a book liar?

A.By judging his manner of speaking.

B.By looking into his background.

C.By mentioning a famous name.

D.By discussing the book it self.
