Spontaneous Musings

Curiously, I've only read Candide in French -- though it was more than a decade ago, while I was in high school, and I don't think I understood it all at the time. (The French was a little advanced for me.) I wonder what the English version is like. I can read French well, and hear and speak it fine, though I'm a touch below fluent, and can often not make out conversations in French films and the like the first time through.
