These are the ten books that people are most likely to lie about having read, according to a survey by a pro-reading advocacy group in the UK.
1984 by George Orwell (42%)
War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy (31%)
Ulysses by James Joyce (25%)
The Bible (24%)
Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert (16%)
A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking (15%)
Midnight’s Children by Salman Rushdie (14%)
