i had to read only the general prologue for class and, to my surprise, i enjoyed it rather a lot. i think the rhyming nature of this verse really adds a layer of jovial enjoyment and, despite the seemly mundane contents of the text, the character descriptions were very enthralling and easy to analyse.

Great start, want to read all the tales, but I have no idea how I'm going to find time for that. Someone make up a time machine, please? Or, like, something that can stop the time...

If read as a study of characterization, this is the best extant example in the English language (or middle English, if you're not reading a translation). If you want story, this won't even get you started on your pilgrimage.
