 I've already read plenty of books in English that it no longer is a challenge to me (ESL), but now I'm looking for French books to read. Obviously books that were written in French originally, not translations.

I already read The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Christo in English and consider these to be too long to read in French again. I also tried reading Madame Bovary in French but found it a bit too boring. A book I was considering is Les Liaisons dangereuses but since it's such an old book I fear the French might be a bit outdated (as in, maybe the expressions used are no longer common?) and honestly I'd rather read something more recently written than all these books I just mentioned anyway. Any suggestions?
