The Proust alone ought to keep me busy for a lifetime. Currently I'm reading Vol de Nuit by St-Exupéry. It is fairly short and simply written, but I'm still at only about 80% comprehension. For pleasure reading, I do not allow myself to stop and look up words because that is not pleasurable and I will stop reading the French books. Still, it does help and obsessive reading is how I got my ridiculous vocabulary in English. The English books are because it helps to know the plot already, although I am wary of bad translations.
