The Decameron

  • The Decameron - Giovanni Boccaccio

I FINALLY FINISHED IT! I started reading the first days of this book during college, but then put it down when life got busy. The stories are entertainering and you're bound to find a few that interest you at the very least. Common themes include theft, trickery, revenge, adultery, etc. You can read the story straight through or pick it up and randomly choose stories to read. I almost recommend that you do not read it like a normal book. Find a place in a park or sitting on your porch and just pick a day and story. Read 1 or a few and then wait till another day to continue. Don't try to read it all at once. Good luck!
