Hmm... but of the plot of this thread is explaining times you misunderstood a book, isn't explaining the thread fall outside of it's guidelines, meaning it isn't in opposition to the thread, but merely there?

Eh, I think any kind of plot counts.  There have been movies and stuff other than books.  Spirit of the law vs the letter of the law, and all that.  ;)

It's about explaining a plot as inaccurately and misleadingly as possible while still being technically accurate (which usually requires a good understanding of the plot in the first place, so I stand by my earlier bad explanation of this thread's plot ;)).

I feel like I have to do a bad plot summary every time I post in this thread, so... Mistborn Era 1 and Secret History: 

Spoiler

The spirited young mountain guide Rashek dreams of a better life.  His uncle Kwaan encourages Rashek to murder one of Kwaan's closest friends.  "Sure," Rashek replies.  Later, Rashek takes a bath and realizes that was all he needed to fulfill his dreams.  Now Rashek has bigger dreams, but a conman and an insecure teenager mess everything up.  Rashek dies.  This exasperates Rashek, so he decides to die again.

Oh, and bad breath gives away when someone is lying.
