You could try to mix it up by reading a classic piece of lit and something that's contemporary. Regarding classic, I'd highly recommend L'Avare by Molière. One of the best and funniest plays written (in my opinion).
For contemporary, I'm at a loss to be honest. I haven't read contemporary French lit in a while. Try to Google some lit written during the 21st century.
You could go for another classic or a modern classic like L'Etranger but they're overdone and might not demonstrate diversity in your reading.

It's a bit long, but I read Bakhita by Olmi for my French personal statement, and I loved it! Something like La Fille de Papier is a good first read, and a bit lighter, or else something like La Maison de Claudine. What sort of thing do you enjoy reading in English?

I can highly recommend No et Moi by Delphine de Vigan. Not too long and with generally accessible language, but a thought-provoking message about modern society. A wonderful piece of modern literature!
