Talk to the Snail by Stephen Clarke
(Ten Commandments for Understanding the French)
I confess, I have a bizarre hobby of reading books about France, or more truthfully about Paris. Why exactly, I'm not really sure. Perhaps it is because I love the city. Not necessarily for its people or its places, more for its charm, yes Paris has charmed me and I can't wait to return.
I am just starting out and on the back cover it tells me:
"The only book you'll need in order to understand what the French really think, how to get on with them and, most importantly, how to get the best out of them."
Interesting statement yes, I'll share my thoughts with you when I have finished.
You will see a lot of books of this theme on my reading list
