A teacher from Lincolnshire contacted me to ask whether I would be doing Candide by Voltaire in the series of book resources on www.alevelfrench.com. This is very tempting-I read the book many moons ago and I decided to download it to read in the kindle app on my smartphone on holiday at the same time as downloading the free mp3s from the http://www.litteratureaudio.com/ site. This site has lots of well known novels read by amateurs and recorded in mp3-lots of de Maupassant particularly. A great place to get audio books. The lady reading Candide is doing a pretty good job - I can keep listening anyway!
L'étranger is the A level resource which is proving the most popular with the school teachers-it must be attracting more interest than the rest of the books put together, excluding Un Sac de Billes. A very difficult decision which book to choose-I must say I would probably prefer the latter-I just think it's a shame that students don't still have to do four. I'm old-fashioned and a book worm and it would suit my website for this to be the case ;-).
