coffee as a secret weapon. Today’s Starbucks drinkers would not appreciate the potent coffee Honoré de Balzac liked to drink. The French author liked to begin work at midnight and write for 18 hours at a stretch. Often, he kept himself awake by drink- ing 30 cups of coffee a night, and he was so poor while writing the Comédie Humaine that he had to lock himself up in a secret writing room to hide from creditors. The caffeine-loaded sludgelike coffee he drank stimulated his mind, he claimed; af- ter he drank it ideas “poured out like the regiments of the Grand Army over the battlefield.”
