TBH I'd rather read Asterix than Descartes (particularly if it was in French, but that's due to the limited nature of my Frecnh ability rather than the content...). Though I did study some of Decartes' ideas about the nature of the universe and so on - for instance I know he wasn't an atomist (forget the other name) and had some interesting ideas about the motions of comets being caused by whirlpooly things in the aether.
