I paused on L’étranger last week (will push through this week maybe 1 page per day) because I got more engrossed in the graded book called “Ã la découverte du Canada”, It was right at my level. Most of the words/phrases bolded in the book were the ones that I didn’t knew. It was more pleasant to read due to less look ups. I completed reading the book.
The next graded reader will be a book by Kit Embers which I stopped at 64% previously.
Nice to hear that you are making progress! And I love to hear that you paused reading and moved on to something else for a bit; I’ve heard that it can be quite a common problem that people can’t “pause” or “come back to the book later” and forcefully push themselves through a book they started, which can ruin a good book.
For L’étranger I am only still halfway in the first chapter so I’m not too worried about ruining the book. I am happy to just understand what I am reading.
I went back to the kit ember book after more than a month, the story came back easily but it is a graded reader and relatively simple content.
