It is also an excellent way to improve comprehension for those of us still struggling to learn...
personally as a french i read 6/10 non professionnal books per year, around 300 in 40 years.
french literature is best
I love french literature. 🇫🇷
the most famous French author is Victor Hugo, because everyone else knows about him or Les Miserables. just like the most famous French artist is Claude Monet, because he is a household name all over the world

Yet the second-most translated writer ever is Jules Verne not Hugo (first is Agatha Christie).

great segment!
I like the prose poems of Baudelaire.
I’m still debating on who’s better character; Jean Valjean or Edmond Dantes.
You need just one name: Louis-Ferdinand Celine ! He was groundbreaking, abrupt change in style.
Key and Peele was really spot on with their French Skit
Hooray!! It's Flo.
Florence you’re brilliant
6:10 Me too. 😁😁😁

Still working on a Godard Book by Richard Roud & a Moveable Feast
I'd be lost without you.
Yeah french.
Florence is oh man 🤗
Becherel France...Village of Books!!!!
Let's create our own storybook.
That's right, women mostly reads novels as opposed to men reading books related to their profession or economics, history etc.
Keep reading my friends.
My aunt smells kids like me. Like a baguette.
What, no trashy romance novels?
Books do smell good haha 😂
Lear []rid.
Over all I respect France and French culture but it’s so ignorant when they think that they are the best. I enjoy more Spanish and Italian language and culture. Greek is also just as beautiful.

French literature is the biggest in terms of literary works though.
ok, we suisse are also arrogant but in comparison you french think you are super human.
Lol. I notice that reading is very male-focused. I'd rather be watching whatever. Because non-fiction topics are very lengthy.
the french think they are waaaay ahead, very arrogant.
