I particularly loved the parts where she writes about her life, including how she worked hard to study in New York and how the experience helped her grow.

LET'S TALK ABOUT DIRE L'AMOUR If you love poetry, I am pretty sure you are going to love Dire l'amour . It's a compilation of love poems—French poems, to be specific.

LET'S TALK ABOUT LE DERNIER JOUR D'UN CONDAMNEE I needed to read this book for school. I must admit I didn't like it much at first, but in the end, it is so well-written. I guess you might appreciate it even more if you know the whole story behind it because, indeed, its author, Victor Hugo, fought to abolish the death penalty. The book recounts the last day of a man who is about to be executed. He experiences a range of emotions like guilt, fear, and anger. A LITTLE BIT OF CONTEXT ABOUT LE DERNIER JOUR D'UN CONDAMNEE This book was published in 1829 and is presented like a diary—the diary of a man condemned to death. There have been a few adaptations in cinema, as well as in cartoons. It received a lot of criticism because Hugo's views on the death penalty were not shared by most of society at the time.

LET'S TALK ABOUT LES CARACTERES I hated reading Les Caractères by La Bruyère, but I love the stories behind it and the themes that are addressed. It is a well-written criticism of 17th-century society. It describes the hypocrisy of the aristocracy and the French King’s court. I also enjoyed his thoughts about war and how kings and royalty should manage it. A LITTLE BIT OF CONTEXT ABOUT LES CARACTERES La Bruyère only wrote one book ( Les Caractères —duh!), but it took him 20 years to finish. He first published it as a translation from the Latin characters of Theophrastus. He then added his own observations and continued to publish the same “translation” with more and more remarks. He was actually describing what he saw because he was a teacher in the royal French court, but he lived there unhappily. WHAT TO READ IF YOU LIKED READING LES CARACTERES Really?? You really liked it...?? Anyway, if you did because of the criticism and irony, I think you should read Candide by Voltaire, a

LET'S TALK ABOUT KING KONG THEORY As a young person developing in this society, I believe that everyone should read King Kong Theory . It is short yet poignant and particularly well-written. Virginie Despentes offers fascinating feminist and philosophical insights, breaking away from traditional feminist rules and ways of thinking. She writes about hard truths, and I find her perspective to be incredibly valid. A LITTLE BIT OF CONTEXT ABOUT KING KONG THEORY King Kong Theory is a small book written by the French author Virginie Despentes in 2006. It lies somewhere between an autobiographical and a philosophical essay. Upon its release, it received both praise and criticism. The book gained renewed popularity after the #MeToo movement and has since become a classic, sometimes even taught in schools. WHAT TO READ IF YOU LIKED KING KONG THEORY If you enjoyed reading King Kong Theory and would appreciate more feminist works from around the world, I recommend Milk and Honey by Rupi Ka
