Does anyone have a favorite Canterbury Tale?
I've been re-reading them for fun and would love to chat about them.

I guess this will reflect poorly on my refined taste and sense of humor, but I always loved the Miller and the Reeve's Tale. Pretty bawdy stuff.

The Reeve's tale isn't quite as bawdy as the Miller's, but I'll never think of "grinding corn" in quite the same way again!

The Physician's Tale I found interesting by focusing upon the daughter, and the tragic end which we oft see in Shakespeare.
