Read & Think French with Audio CD   by The Editors Of Think French! Magazine (2010)
Focus on reading comprehension and acquiring complex vocabulary - NO EXERCISES at all. Very interesting variety of long texts about French culture and traditions (painters, musique, architecture, etc). Stimulating material, no good for speaking skills but excellent for culture. Would lead to an ability to read other authentic material (magazines & newspapers). Comes with a CD to listen to the text whilst reading it.
