The Decameron: Or Ten Days' Entertainment
by Giovanni Boccaccio

Phew! This was one hell of a book...32 hours long! I laughed and laughed at some stories and could barely stay focused on others, and in the end was glad to be done with the book. There's lots to unpack and I could see someone spending a lifetime shifting through all of the layers and nuances within the 100 stories. I'm glad I've checked it off my list but am definitely ready for something contemporary!
