Brave New world by Aldous Huxley(20th century), La Comédie humaine by Honoré de Balzac(19th century)…..but I get the concept, I was just thinking since a recommendation app it would work well with a scarce niche and so that whenever I want unpopular old books I know where to go

Thanks for getting back to me!

Brave New World is actually quite popular on MeetNewBooks, and its recommendations include Fahrenheit 451, 1984, Animal Farm, and others [1].

For Honoré de Balzac, I do have several of his works, including Père Goriot. The top recommendations for that include authors like Gustave Flaubert, Stendhal, and Émile Zola [2].

I'll check if I have a more complete catalog of Balzac's works—some of this data can be tricky to source. If you have specific old or lesser-known books you're looking for, let me know!
