We’re starting a new book club here at the new Main Library at Goodwood with a twist: it’s en français! We’re partnering with a local French interest group called Francopportunités that is dedicated to promoting French language and culture in Baton Rouge. Join us next Thursday, March 20, at the Main Library at 7:00 p.m. as we kick off our new French club with a discussion of the classic Le Petit Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Our unofficial slogan for the club is “Less Sartre, more fun!” Future dates and titles are:
Thursday, April 24 – La délicatesse de David Foenkinos
Thursday, May 29 – L’élégance du hérisson de Muriel Barbery
Thursday, June 19 – Et si c’était vrai de Marc Levy
Thursday, July 17 – Bonjour tristesse de Françoise Sagan
Thursday, August 28 – Entre les murs de François Bégaudeau
September 25 – L’étudiant étranger de Philippe Labro
October 23 – Les Âmes grises de Philippe Claudel
November 6 – Stupeur et tremblements d’Amélie Nothomb
December 4 – Un secret de Philippe Grimbert
All meetings are scheduled for 7:00 p.m at Main in Conference Room A. Visit our online calendar or call (225) 231-3750 for up-to-date information on book choices.
