ABOUT THE BOOK CLUB
Navigateurs de la littérature
WHO MAY JOIN?
Our Navigateurs de la littérature French Book Club welcomes new and returning members...even in the middle of a story! We are a friendly group reading and discussing real French literature in a relaxed atmosphere. While many of us are students at AFMSP in the second, third, and fourth years, everyone is welcome to try it!
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
It is FREE! You can purchase copy of the current book at a local bookstore, or order it online. Sometimes the stories are available on the internet, or you might be able to borrow it from a library.
WHERE DO WE MEET?
Normally, we meet every first Wednesday of the month from 6:00 pm-8:00 pm at the Alliance Française; however, when AFMSP does not have classes in session, we meet in an alternate location.
WHAT DO WE READ?
Stories, novels, plays, essays, and poems are chosen by the members. Members sometimes bring pictures, photos, maps, or articles to share more information about the current selection.
WHAT HAPPENS AT THE MEETING?
We take turns reading one page at a time. If there is a lot of dialogue, we might read a selection by taking the parts of different characters. Before going on to the next page, we make sure everyone has a grasp of the meaning. Our discussion is in French as much as possible!
CURIOUS?
