As a coping strategy when dealing with literary snobs (who will judge you to your face because you haven’t read the books they have), you sometimes have to pretend you’ve read a book you haven’t.

相信你一定遇到过这样的人，如果你没读过他们读过的书，他们便会得意地嘲笑你的无知。其实面对这种情况，你完全可以采用下面这个策略：装一把满腹经纶的读书人。

But how do you go about pretending you’ve read a book with confidence? What happens if you’re caught out in a lie?

那么问题来了，怎样才能“装”得从容自信，不露马脚呢？

Fortunately you can deduce many facts about classic books by looking at their covers, reading the contents page, and paying attention to the way they are referenced in popular culture. I’ve provided a handy outline as to how you can pretend to have read five classic novels. And please note that no disrespect is meant to these books or those who love them!

幸好，对付那些经典书目还是有办法的：通过看封面、读目录，你可以推测出它的许多关键信息，然后再看看文化领域的人都是怎么谈论它的。下面，我将给你介绍这个简单易学的概览法，教你“学富五书”（五本经典名著哦）。如有冒犯经典之处，绝非小编有意，还请书迷们海涵！
