At long last I have finished Gargantua & Pantagruel by Francois Rabelais. It was a fun read. It's quite bawdy, really, full of the stuff of dirty jokes. Yet it's tremendously fun, thought-provoking, and intelligent at the same time. It's a long slog, but worth it.
Next I'm going to hit some non-fiction in the form of Edith Hamilton's Mythology. This edition is also illustrated by Steele Savage, who also illustrated an edition of The Arabian Nights I once read.
