What's the last French book you read?

For me, it's La Batarde.

>An obsessive and revealing self-portrait of a remarkable woman humiliated by the circumstances of her birth and by her physical appearance, La Batarde relates Violette Leduc's long search for her own identity through a series of agonizing and passionate love affairs with both men and women.

The Rape of the Lock
Oh wait—it's actually an Engliſh poem by the famed Alexander Pope, but I couldn't help myſelf. Never read a French writer who could write a-as well as this little man. Never an Engliſhman either!

This thread has reminded me to get back into learning French. I was doing a considerable amount of Duolingo a while ago but sort of fell off. I want to try and start reading some French too, I thought I'd start with some plays. I have a copy of Cyrano de Bergerac around I might try eventually.
