Salambó is pretty based and redpilled. I didn't know enough early church history to appreciate his Temptation of St Anthony, and never really finished Madame Bovary, but always come back to Salambó, it has great atmosphere and scenes that just get stuck in your mind
Ballsack's La Peau de chagrin is great too, never read any of his other books though so can't compate
Brody Flores
pretty great book, i like the part where he remembers his young cucking times as the happiest part of his life

Philosophy in the Bedroom by Sade
Connor Morales
dat prose
Le jour extérieur frappait contre les feuilles de laitier noir. Des arborescences, des monticules, des
tourbillons, de vagues animaux se dessinaient dans leur épaisseur diaphane ; et la lumière arrivait, effrayante
et pacifique cependant, comme elle doit être par−derrière le soleil, dans les mornes espaces des créations
futures. Il s'efforçait à bannir de sa pensée toutes les formes, tous les symboles et les appellations des Dieux,
afin de mieux saisir l'esprit immuable que les apparences dérobaient.

>Memoirs of Hadrian.
I have never read Les Miserables, but I know it was one of the major influences on Tolstoy for teh composition of War and Peace, so it's probably a gret work.
For those who read it: why the novel itself is not as read and loved as War and Peace? I know that the musical is quite famous, but I have never met anyone who read the book.
Leo Morales

Not even. If you’re familiar with French lit you’d know that story of the eye is actually very inspired by figures like Diderot.
It’s raunchy fun, but it’s also well-grounded.
