i love balzac. and stendhal too, i was one of the few people in class that didn't detest 'le rouge et le noir'. but my fave 'old' french book is 'les liaisons dangeureuses'. it's smart, sexy, funny, witty, devious... just perfect.
the other really classic ones i loved reading in school were rabelais and nerval. and of course all the 'poètes maudits'.
