I have two degrees in literature that specialise in Romanticism, but I still only understood maybe 2/3 of the references in this max, so definitely worth reading an annotated copy (and having google translate handy, if your Latin isn't up to snuff...)

Genuinely funny, charming, and rattled along surprisingly quickly. Lots of hijinks.
