The style of humor in the Miller's Tale, for example ... not something I expected to run into in Sophomore English. It was hilarious. Just goes to show how little human nature has changed in 700 years.

The only way to read it is in the original. Most of it is poetry.

I don't associate Penguin Classics with their modern desecrations.

There's much love for the Penguin Classics on my part. It makes my textbooks cost about 10 cents.
