Hypnerotomachia Poliphili: "the Strife of Love in a Dream" by Francesco Colonna

4.0

I read this book in Egypt, while exploring the pyramids. As such I do not have an unbiased view of it. Mostly Orientalism, and incredibly sensuous. The protagonist gets aroused by architecture. One of those books you "should" read, but honestly it may not be necessary to read in full. Even just reading the first few chapters should give you an idea of its significance.
