Sorry should have been clearer. Is his novels worth reading ? If so where should I start?

I'm currently reading "La Peau de chagrin" while taking hot bath and drinking coffee. Very comfy.

i was just messing with you. ive only read some short stories. they arent the same, obviously, but i would imagine if you like authors like hugo and dumas you would probably also like balzac. perhaps his short stories are different from his longer works, though.

Do I have to start somewhere particular with balzac? Same question with zola and his rougeon macquart, do i have to read it as a saga or just read the first that comes in my hands?
