I think it says more about the immense popularity of "The Lord of the Rings" than anything else.

I notice that one of the other books on the list is "The Da Vinci Code", which is nothing but a page-turning potboiler. Why would anyone lie about having read it, other than because it's a very popular book? Really, popularity is the only thing it's got going for it.

I'd be more tempted to lie and say that I hadn't read The Da Vinci Code! I mean, yes I have read it but it's nothing to brag about...
