PS I don't have time to prepare any.
I'm prepared to do a few Balzacs (or other classic French authors) in the original French, provided that I can find a decent html source with all the italics and accents. I really don't feel up to restoring all the missing accents in an entire French novel.
I've had a quick look on Gallica and see that they have lots of Balzac and that they seem to be in html, so your luck is in.

So, Ivan, which ones would you like?

(I'm also quite tempted by Chateaubriand's Memoirs d'outre tombe because I visited Combourg recently.)

PS I'm a bit busy this weekend, so it may be Monday before I get round to it.
