　　A

　　It happened to me recently. I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama's Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President. A friend I was 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 about Mr. Obama in a way

　　which suggested

　　he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was 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'll admit here and now that I haven't read the entire top ten. But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, 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
