I studied French back in school but haven't kept up with it. Reead pic related last week and want to repolish my French reading skills. What books to follow up with?
Entry level French fiction
Michael Howard
Thomas Price

How much difficult did you find Le Petit Prince? That will tell us where you are with your French. A standard recommendation for entry-level French lit would be l'Étranger de Camus. The language is fairly simple, as is the plot. However, if you found Le Petit Prince challenging, you may need to start lower than l'Étranger. If this is the case, I recommend reading the Tintin comics. They have some outdated French expressions because of when they were written, but the language is pretty simple and is made even more understandable by the pictures.

Tintin is racist

Le Petit Nicolas is pretty accessible and entertaining.

there's a lot of bachibouzouks in the streets of Paris
Joseph Wood

pretty good translation of poe, you might have some problems with verbal tense tho. anyhow, you have the english original to guide you through the general sense of the story
Sebastian Williams
No. Just dimwits
Angel Ross
And amazing as well.
Cooper Phillips
He might be pleb-tier, but I absolutely love Alexandre Dumas's novels.
Though they're not really entry level in terms of writing.
Noah Ortiz
Probably not great for a beginner, but just as an interesting side note, Baudelaire translated several Poe stories into French, and they're pretty good.
