Congratulations, that is such an amazing thing to celebrate!! 🥳 I live part-time in France at my family's new house now, so I am starting to practice French and it would be amazing one day to be able to actually read a book entirely in French! 😄
I’m terrible at languages but I do want to learn French and have been learning a little here and there . I also want to learn Russian. Both for the same reasons as you. Some of my favourite philosophical books. I was so impressed by your story about learning Japanese to be able to read Kafka on the Shore that im almost finished with it now and when im done im going to listen to the audiobook. So many great themes to unpack and explore. This book also has me wanting to revisit some Greek Tragedies and Japanese mythology. I love great stories and books because it’s like going down a rabbit hole with so many interesting themes to explore.
But yes, that's how reading goes for me as well. I read something and somehow that makes me want to read something else, so I go read that. It's like getting book recs from books. I really like it when it happens.
Also, I am planning to read some Greek mythology too!!!

Yes! I, too, would love to read The Stranger in French someday!!!
But you have such a great opportunity, living there, rooting for you to learn the language 🤗

French is a popular choice for sure 😅
