Thanks !

>I'm learning French

eugh, enjoy slumming around the slum of Paris posing as an existentialist bohemian.. You're about 90-100 years too late. Spend this time learning Greek and Latin.

No hard feelings

Can anyone recommend some good graded readers / learning books?

I'm at the level where I am doing the typical Camus translation thing. The one I'm using is a really neat study guide (vocab in the back, really tricky stuff is footnoted). Are there any really good collections of these for learners?

If you're truly interested in a language or culture, any language is worth it, no matter how small.

OP here.
I don't care about France, I care about it's literature.
One day I want to be able to read the "difficult" French literature works without hassle, as I already do with the Italian, German and English ones.
Thanks for your input.

What is your native language?
Looking for easy books to read in German because I haven't studied the language that long

I'm Italian.
I'd recommend Momo and die unendliche Geschichte (Ende).
The short stories by Kafka are more difficult but less than you'd think. Especially if you have already read them in your mother tongue.

Why are people so proud about something they had no choice over?

>>7823090
French people don't want you to learn their language because then they won't have an excuse to hate you for no reason.

anything by dumas is easy enough

Thanks.I second your list.
Molière is a must read. I would maybe leave Flaubert and Racine for later because I think that the way their writings truly are more enjoyable with a good French level.

Can't think of more shit-tier author tho

Houellebecq is easy.

Is candide too hard for an intermediate French speaker? I've been slowly picking through Rimbaud poems, but I want to try something a little longer
