I've picked up that trick as well...thats one of the things they teach you (I mean you pick up) at university. It comes in real handy at times...but I didn't know that people actually used it outside of school or at least would admit to it. o_O

School is one of the last times when you are generally required to have done the reading.

"Bayard’s list// Books he has started but not finished// The Man Without Qualities, Robert Musil"
:-) The funny thing here is that the author himself hasn't finished it either...
