Essais de Montaigne jh Send a noteboard - 22/05/2012 10:08:18 PM
It has been looking down at me from the bookshelf for ten years now. Read it and tell me if it's worth the time. :P

But honestly, I doubt we read the same kind of french literature, me being an uncultured philistine who likes dumas and verne and camus and all that, so I am not really any help at all.

What should I read next in French and German? Tom - 22/05/2012 08:05:38 PM 1318 Views
My list of French literature I've read is extremely short, so, um, Racine? Yourcenar? Legolas - 22/05/2012 08:17:49 PM 748 Views

Yeah, I have that. *NM* Tom - 23/05/2012 09:30:48 PM 342 Views
And if you were to read the Spanish versions, there are two well-known plays Larry - 23/05/2012 11:57:45 PM 804 Views
Okay, I looked at Don Carlos. I see no resemblance to Don Juan. Tom - 25/05/2012 08:40:05 PM 834 Views
I mentioned it because Don Juan appears in it, but is not the star of it Larry - 25/05/2012 10:24:20 PM 847 Views
It's hard for me to get excited about Spanish literature. Tom - 26/05/2012 02:18:40 AM 1044 Views

I have the two-volume anthology of French poetry from Pléiade (book series, not the poet group). Tom - 23/05/2012 09:32:51 PM 1010 Views

You could read the world's first Sci-Fi novel, Lucian of Samosata's Ἀληθῆ διηγήματα. Tim - 27/05/2012 03:08:30 PM 854 Views
Having read more about that, I'm tempted to say genre fiction has always been bad. Tom - 28/05/2012 03:40:45 AM 757 Views
