Apparently that's what happens when you drink 50 cups of coffee every day.

Balzac is perhaps not the French author that would suffer most from translation.
A handful favorites of mine:

Le Père Goriot
Eugénie Grandet
Beatrix
Savarus (I think)
The Elixir of long life (short story)
Forgot most the titles I read, but just pick anything after those five (for instance Splendeur et Misère des Courtisanes) and you should be set.

I've only ever read one of his works, Lost Illusions, and I enjoyed that very much. Didn't know anything about the dude beforehand.

Hope we can remain friends
