Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. It was an assignment from my university. I still like the book though.

The most important lesson to take from Canterbury is that if anyone tries to cry about modern society being lewd, or not respecting marriage, or whatever dumb puritanism is on public display that week, you can point to Chaucer and say "See? We were always gross perverts!"
