I'm in France at the moment and have just discovered a brilliant bookstore with all sorts of great stuff. Basically I want to stock up on stuff before I go back east of the Atlantic.
So recommend me your favorite works (it must be French though). I tend to prefer "weirder" literature - absurdism/twisted tales of unrequited love/desperation and alienation/desolation - things of that ilk. Camus/Dostoevsky/Kafka are among my favorites to give you a better idea (so don't recommend me any Camus). Not as much of a fan of romanticism era lit, but if there's something you implore me to check out, I'll consider it.
Also interested in reading some Lacan if anybody can direct me to a good introductory text, that would also be swell.
As for poetry, I quite like Baudelaire, but haven't read any Verlaine or Rimbaud, so I'll probably pick up a copy of each.
Just picked up Les Gommes (Robbe-Grillet), Exercises de Style (Queneau), Les Fleurs du Mal (Baudelaire) and Un homme qui dort (Perec) to give you further idea of what I like.
