The sticky is the first post on /lit/, at the top of the page. It stays in that same place, so you can always refer to it.

Works by Laurent Graff. He's quite good if you enjoy the style.
I've read his "Voyage, voyages". Leaving the sex out, the main character is quite an Oblomov. I plan to read more by him once I finish my exams.

Either troll or an actual retard, but fuck it il bite... War and Peace is written by a Russian (Tolstoy)

If you are not French and want to start reading French litterature this is not a good list...
Some of that stuff even the French have difficulty with (Memoire d'outre Tombe)
Laurent Gaudet is modern and good for the beginners.

Le petit Prince is for little kids.

You haven't read it, otherwise you'd understand the joke.

Yes, i know it's for kids thats why I was apprehensive, but I heard people say kids can appreciate it and so can adults; in a different way though. thoughts?

Théophile Gautier - le Capitaine Fracasse.

Albert Camus , anything.
Céline - Voyage au bout de la nuit.

Ah a litterature joke... I know they speak alot of French in the book it was a typical occurence in pre-Alexandrine Russia (personally I blame Peter the Great, and later Catherine who thought it would be smart to play the Enlightened despot). But either way its not very funny, since half the fucking book is about the Napoleonic war. So that joke applies to alot of Russian litterature... Including Pushkin and Turgunev.
When someone asks you for recommended German poetry you dont tell them Pasternak, because he quotes German...

Yea i suppose but its very short...

Camus is a good idea, but again depends on your level.
