recommend me a good french book

i'm realising how poor my french is now, having not taken any classes in it since winter 2000 ... geez ... and having little practise since. i'm kind of bored, and since i don't talk to my pals in french all that much, i might as well cure that boredom and rusty french with a good book. my favourite is L'Amour Mallarmé by Guy Moreau. the thing is, i need like a "roman jeunesse" because my french isn't quite good enough for a real adult book. i've tried. vocabulary is too slim.

a friend's recommendations:
le petit sauvage - alexandre jardin
danielle steel's novels in french
marie laberge
christyne roy

perhaps even some articles on subjects i like (see "themes" list at right). i had a fairly easy time reading a short bit about an industrial design piece that found itself in my coursepack. any good design sites in french one can recommend?

i'm lazy, so shoot me
