In fact I just finished Les Mandarins by Simone de Beauvoir in English (it is quite a page turner once you get the hang of it!) and am going to start on the French version today. It's really absorbing!

Here's a free French version that can be borrowed and read online one hour at a time (it was 14 days until recently, c'est la vie):

p.s. a DU French novel-of-the-month club might be interesting!
