The French Books Meetup Group
|
If you enjoy reading books written by French / francophone authors and would like to discuss them with other lovers of French Fiction in French, this is a group for you. We try to pick books that are both well written and likely to interest the greatest number of people, including works considered modern (or even classic) classics and more recent prize winners. These books are picked and discussed by our member group, both through polls and at our meetups over a cup of hot chocolate, a cup of coffee and dessert or a light dinner. The idea is to have fun, increase our literary knowledge, and brush up on our French, This group is recommended for people who are comfortable speaking in French (no need to be perfect).
