And I'm serious about it now. But I was wondering what's the best way to go about this. I know /lit/ is good with these type of questions so what advice do you have?

Books for wanting to learn to read French? I’m studying it now but keep getting caught up wanting to learn other languages. Like Italian when I read Dante. What French writers are there who will make me desperately want to learn their language?

Voltaire, Baudelaire, Balzac, Flaubert, Rimbaud, Proust, Zola, etc.

Do a language study abroad with a host family in France that doesnt speak a lick of english or will agree to refuse to - 1-3 months and you're conversational. Mastering the trivium will take years of dedication though.
If youre to poor to do that, save up until you can, or enjoy eventually wasting the equivalent amount of money over the course of 2 years or so for absolutely 0 return doing dumb shit 4chan and reddit told you.

I speak 5 languages.

I learned to read French for my PhD program. I used Sandberg, re-read the book once or twice when I needed refreshers on something, but mainly just started reading Wikipedia articles and similar things about topics that interested me and I already had some familiarity with.

You can also try some graded readers. I liked the Otto F. Bond ones.
