A review by stanley_nolan_blog
The Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio

4.0

Holy shit that took a long time. I decided to read a story per day, which would take 110 days. Halfway through, I took a month pause, then came back and read two to five stories per day to finish.
Please, English readers, read the modern (Rebhorn) translation. The earlier ones that follow the original Boccaccio leans more towards Chaucer than Shakespeare in its level of unreadability.
