The easiest French books I have ever read were some of Simenon's Maigret whodunnits. I think he must have had a limited vocabulary. I also find Voltaire pretty easy and I enjoy his wit. One of the best things for me was my collection of Astérix le Gaulois. I love the drawings and the French is very simple. It is part of French culture that they produce a huge number of picture-book stories (bandes dessinées). Some of them are pretty serious and intended for adults.
