It happened to me recently that I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama’s DreamsfromMyFather and how it had changed my views of the current US president.The person I was talking to agreed with me that it was,in his words,“a wonderfully written book”. However,he then proceeded to talk about Mr Obama in a way that suggested he had no idea of his background at all.I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.
And it seems that he is not the only one.Clearly two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t.In the World Book Day survey,DreamsfromMyFather is at number 9.The survey lists top ten books,and various authors,which people have lied about reading.As I’m not one to lie too often,I’ll admit here and now that I haven’t read the entire ten books.But I am pleased to say that I have read the book at number one,GeorgeOrwell’s 1984.I think it’s absolutely outstanding.
Asked why they lied,the most common reason was to impress someone they were speaking to.This could be difficult if the conversation became more indepth!
The World Book Day survey also has some other interesting information in it.It shows that many people lie about having read classical works by Jane Austen,the Bronte sisters,Charles Dickens and so on.But when asked which authors they actually enjoy,they named J.K.Rowling,Jilly Cooper,and Stephen King (ah,the big sellers,in other words).Fortyone percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story.
So which books have you lied about reading—if any—and which is your favourite?
【小题1】The main reason why people lie about reading is to________.
A.make fun of the listener |
