good french books?

I'd like to read some french books, so, any recommendations?



Salome

 

Books in French or books by French authors?

 

its a play, and prolly the hardest thing I've ever had to understand in french, but Huis Clos is good, i cant remember the guy who wrote it (Sartre or something)... its decent, i found i really liked it by the end, it just seems to make sense and whatnot, like, it comes together and makes you think...look it up.

 

Balzac is top class!! Sartre I here is very good.

 

Same question as him. Additionally, contemporary, fiction, wha?

Guy de Maupassant, Camus...I mean, there are so many.

 

Yeah there are so many: Madame Bovary, Histoire d'O, l'Etranger, Asterix, Simenon, Jules Verne ... it really depends what your tastes are.

 

Blasé Pascal (French Philosopher) is out of this world!

 

Oh I must add: Blaise Cendrars. He’s the best writer of all of them! I was laughing my head off because of his books in the library.

 

Everything by Bernard Werber

 

I'm a big fan of Marcel Pagnol.

Jean de Florette is a goodie.

 

I said it first!

 

yeah, Pagnol is good.. Jean de Florette, Manon de Sources.
Camus - La Peste.. whoever it was that wrote Lettres de mon Moulin, I forget the author.
