Hi, Barbara,

There are many interesting French books that you can read, even if you don’t speak the language. I started reading in English/Spanish, and then switched to French. It has to be a gradual transition. You can give it a try.

Thanks for commenting.

Thank you for this interesting list. I don’t speak a word of French. So I admire all of you who do speak other languages. I am hopeless with languages. But I love to read. So I will probably check out a few of these titles. In English of course. I have heard of Dumas and Camus, so I will probably start there. I should broaden my experiences anyway!

Hi, Grace,

Well, that depends on your level. For starters, did you read them in French or some other language? Le Petit Prince is good for beginners, but not so Les Misérables. The latter is recommended for advanced speakers only. As a matter of fact, most books on this list are recommended for upper-intermediate/advanced learners as they contain difficult vocabulary and grammar. I will write a post about easier books to read. Stay tuned.

Thanks for commenting.

I have always been a big fan of French poetry and French authors, Victor Hugo and Arthur Rimbaud to name a few, thou I have always wanted to explore more. this page has unlocked a new chapter for me, a new world to discover all these masterpieces I have been wanting to read over the years. GREAT CONTENT and thank you

Hi Enrique,

Thanks for your interesting post! In your list, I only had chances to read 2 books, Le Petit Prince and Les Misérables. They are really popular in my country and I think in many other countries too. Considering the difficulty level, what would you recommend for me to read next?

Thanks a lot,

Grace

Hi, Michel,

It's always good to meet other people that love to read. I love historical novels, just like you.

In answer to your question, yes, you can find all of these books in English and other languages.

Thanks for commenting.

I loved reading the storylines for all these books and I wouldn't mind reading some of them, especially Le Misanthrope. À La recherche du temps perdu also looks like a very interesting read. I love historical stories from way back as it is always interesting to see how people lived and thought in those days.

However since I don't speak French, I just wondered if these books are available in English too?
