The Physician's Tale - oh my actual god

The Pardoner's Tale - moralising aside, the twist end to this one made me laugh

Franklin's Tale - this was pretty twisted.

Also, it staggers me that anyone believes the myth that people used to think the Earth was flat when not only is there an abundance of documents charting complex astronomy and astrology going back 5,000 years, but this story refers to the planets as spheres and outright says the world is round, a century before Columbus.

The fungus chapter was the most interesting one yet

The Squire's Tale - some good lines in this, but where's the rest of the story?? Typing issue, or Chaucer never finished it?

Okay, he never finished it. Interesting take on it in this article: https://news.northeastern.edu/2023/02...

The Merchant's Tale - insane

There was a huge typeset error, too, where about 10 pages suddenly repeated themselves

The Clerk's Tale - thank goodness for the final paragraph, because DAMN

The irony is thick

This is WILD

The air chapter was particularly overloaded with scientific jargon and very hard to get through, as someone who doesn't know all these terms and concepts

The Summoner's Tale - OMG

The Friar's Tale - has a fun twist at the end

The Summoner's Tale Prologue - is INSANE

Currently unsure why so many fans don't like this one. So far, it's incredible, though NOT for the fainthearted. By Page 70, I was in tears. It's so, so powerful.

Electricity - really moving, with beautiful observations
