Well, it took me over two months, but I finally read all of Boccaccio's Decameron. Some of the stories were really entertaining. Some of them were really uncomfortable - women were not treated particularly well in those days and it can be tough to read. I'm not sure I entirely enjoyed this book but at least now I can say that I've read it. Random person: "Hey Nancy, have you ever read The Decameron by Boccaccio?" Me: "Why yes, I have read The Decameron by Boccaccio." Goal achieved.
