Book Fakes...What Books Do You Lie About Reading

12/30/2014

0 Comments

 
I love reading, but there are some books that I lie about reading. This dates back to high school when I would rather gouge my eyes out with a dull knife than read another word of The Grapes of Wrath. Now? It's more about lying about what I HAVEN'T read. 

No, I don't still read YA. I mean come on, I'm an adult, not an adventure craving teenager.

Literary fiction? What am I eighty?

Here are just a few of the books I lie about reading one way or another.

1. The Grapes of Wrath - This one is obvious. To me, it is actually painful to read. I didn't read it in high school when it counted as part of my grade and I sure as hell have no intention of picking it up now.

2. Lolita - This is actually one of my favorite books, but not something you want to admit to. How to explain that it isn't the relationship between the pedophile and a young girl that kept me turning the page, but the changes that Delores went through.

3. Sidartha - Again, I just couldn't force myself through it. I know it's great literature, but I'd rather have my teeth drilled.

4. The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood - I read this right after my daughter was born and it still sits on my shelf today. Maybe it was because of the time in my life I chose to read it or because I think all women have "best friends" that we miss as we grow older. This book though, is more a staple of older-hat wearing-men hating-mother blaming women, not exactly required reading for a paranormal romance author.

5. The Secret Lives of Bees - I just didn't get all the hype over this book. It was SO BORING!
