But I agree it's a good system as it helps you understand international literature from a young age and opens your mind to other cultures. Ze Frainch Legion fan

It was so highly regarded that many streets in downtown Athens were named after French authors like Victor Hugo, Rabelais, Chateaubriand (Satovriandou street, made to sound Greek, of course), Jean Favier etc.

I'm reminded that I recently bought a new copy of 'Pride and Prejudice', which was required reading for me in college. I think it should be for high school too. Its probably the best 'romantic' novel I've ever read, and I'm still shocked that I enjoyed it so much.

First Audrey Hepburn and now Pride & Prejudice?! Good grief man are you watching any Lifetime Specials?! Just messing with you man! I should check out P & P. I'm a sucker for period pieces.
