I once wrote an article on how to avoid getting sued for plagiarism as
a writer.

My suggestion was to keep a "reading journal" that lists the title
author, and publication date of everything you read.

Keep it consistently.  Then, if anyone whines, you can go to your
journal and say, with some confidence, "No, I didn't even read X by Y.
Sorry."

It should also include movies you see -- but could be rather time
consuming if you were to do that, I reckon.
