A review by steven_nobody
The Diary of Samuel Pepys by Samuel Pepys

5.0

I only read the entries for the year of the plague, meaning all of 1665, and the entries about the fire in London in 1666 because I'm interested in how people face large catastrophes. Of course, I had to review a number of entries outside this plan to understand it better. His affair with Mrs Bagwell was one of those. OK, to be honest, the sex was my real motivation. I like to snicker. He calls his dick "a yard" but I'd have liked more details. Also, only 16 Dec 1665, did he mean to say he laid at the bottom of a boat and ejaculated with just the power of his mind? And when he beat off in a crowded church on Xmas Eve '67, how did no one notice? Was tht also just with his mind? I guess I need more details on winter clothing of the period to see how much room there is for fumbling about there is.
