Well, that's impressive! I have read very little by French novelists.

I did read Madame Bovary by Flaubert because someone had made reference to it in something I was reading. I also read a lot of short stories by de Maupassant back in high school, but none of his novels. My favorite, dealing with gossip, was The Piece of String.
