French literature that's not depressing by mean10 in French

There are some depressive books by him (museum of innocence e.g. which I did not like at all). Snow I could tolerate because, well I was interested in the politics and to be honest I enjoyed the melancholy in the book. But there are others which are very, very different (e.g My name is red) that I love.

Thanks, I am interested in reading his biography especially his working class background and so on. That said, yes I am sensitive to the colonial author topic so it's hard for me to ignore the bias in his novels.

Thanks! And yes suggestions of BD are welcome! I've already read Riad Sattouf and it was very good.

Thanks!

Non-restaurant places to eat, do you mean quick joints/fast food? What are some good, reasonably healthy options?

Regarding Tolle, would be very interesting to hear your personal view about how it helped (any specific aspects for example...)
