French books

That's a very ample question, but check out Houellebecq.

Thanks, will do.

>(aside from classics, read most of them)
You make it sound like your idea of the classics is "voltaire, rousseau and montaigne" desu
Try Jonathan Littell, would seem appropriate

Balzac has over a hundred books, I bet you haven't read them all.

>>8706652
Zola is another guy with a few books under his belt. Jesus, read most of the classics? What the fuck.

Yeah that was a bad way to phrase it. I read Germinal by Zola, and 2 or 3 Balzac books in HS.

I will look into other books by those two. I was merely was avoiding obvious suggestions like La Peste, l'étranger, Comte de Monte Chriso, 3 Musketeers, Petit Prince and others.

Proost.

You could read Flaubert, proust, stendhal, prevost, de sade, bloy, Celine and Simon

Or for poetry you could read Baudelaire, Rimbaud, fontaine, verlaine and appolinaire

Try Michon and Bergougnioux. They are both about the terroir and write magnificiently, son it's perfect to keep your tongue un check. Do expect proustian level of difficulty though.

I'm okay with that. I will definitely check it out.

May I also ask if there are some more modern works worth reading? I tried reading this mystery novel that had really high ratings, it came out in 2013 I think. It was pretty shit.

I read one Modiano book and it was solid.

Houellebecq

>>8706843
Both of the authors I mentionned are pretty recent (and it's Bergounioux as>>8706808 corrrected).

I like Bellanger as well, more contemporary. Houellebecq is of course a safe bet.

All 20 century french philosophy, derrida-like guys, blanchot for example, leiris, herve guibert
