Here are some of the books being devoured by the French at the moment. I doubt if any of them have been translated into English so I have tried to anglicize the titles for you.
UPDATE: as you've proably guessed, all of the books were written (or dictated) by one or other of the main French presidential candidates.

- Setting France Free (Marine Le Pen)
- Free (Nicolas Sarkozy)
- Together (Nicolas Sarkozy)
- Thinking Through Change (François Bayrou)
- Plan for Hope (François Bayrou)
- The French Dream (François Hollande)
- A Destiny for France (François Hollande)
- Changing Destiny (François Hollande)
- Republican Causes (Jean-Luc Melenchon)
- The Other Left (Jean-Luc Melenchon)
- Let's Get Rid of Them All! Time for the Citizen's Revolution (Jean-Luc Melenchon)
Blandness brought to new heights or depths! The only titles with an ounce of interest in them are the last two. The Other Left could have been written by my drill master at school as I failed miserably to keep in step: "the other left, Mr Dunn!". In Let's Get Rid of Them All! Time for the Citizen's Revolution, Melenchon has obviously decided he has no hope of winning so he might as well have a bit of fun.
