In such instances, you might want to use some of these tips to bluff your way into the conversation. These five books include War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy, Ulysses by James Joyce, In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust, Moby Dick by Herman Melville, and Paradise Lost by John Milton.
This, however, may involve not just knowing these bits of information about the books, but also knowing how to pivot the conversation when people start to prod you for further details. Moreover, since most of these books are pretty long and thick, most of the bluff just involves feigning memory loss.
To be fair, however, these books usually delve into deeply philosophical themes, so it might be a lot easier to blab one’s way out of it.
Still, as long as you can touch on some of the salient information of the book, then you might just be able to swindle others into believing you have actually read the whole thing.
