Éducation Sentimale and Un Coeur Simple are also essential. Salammbo, too, in a different, fantastical way.

i think its hilarious u kids ain't talking about Proust. u wouldnt say this shit to him at a llibrary, hes gay. not only that but he wears the freshest clothes, eats at the chillest restaurants and hangs out with the hottest dudes. yall are pathetic lol

>>8842043
L'éducation sentimentale, Salammbô, Trois contes and Madame Bovary are the most important. After that you can read Bouvard et Pécuchet and La Tentation de Saint Antoine.

I will always love this one. Replace gay with jacked though (like in the original) for the sidesplitting turnaround at the end of the sentence.

What do you mean by that? I have read the rest of his work and loved it, so I was considering picking up Salambó. What would you say makes it different?
