Dante and Ariosto in Italian is a sweet dream but life is too short. I haven't read Shakespeare since my teens except for A Midsummer Night's Dream and I know I would love to reread Chaucer's English Works
What no one had told me about A la recherche before I started reading it is just how funny it is. It is written with an eye like a gimlet and a psychological acuity that has rarely been equalled. I'm assuming you read French; an English translation would just be a waste of time. Thomas Tallon
