Good French literature to work at for a second year French student

[KentaRawr!]

Hello!

I've been studying French for the past year, and am about to start my second year of studying French. I had a book that I was working on, but there was an extremely nice guy who I was sharing a room with in a youth hostel while I was in Paris, and he gave me a present because I gave him directions! In return, I gave him the book I was working on, but now I'm left without a book to practice with. I know that a few people here speak French, some of whom as their second language, and I was curious if there are any books that you guys would recommend for someone who's been studying for a year. Preferably fiction instead of non-fiction! =)

Some of my professors recommended the Harry Potter books, but because I'm reading those in English right now and haven't finished the series, I'd like to read something besides those. I really, really enjoy them though, so something with a similar style would be neat!

Thanks in advance to anyone who chooses to help. I'd really appreciate it!
