"What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well" (The Little Prince by de Saint-Exupéry). My journey to a WELL-adjusted heart, WELL-watered soul, WELL-educated mind, and WELL-tuned body. "Love the Lord your God with all your HEART, and with all your SOUL, and with all your MIND, and with all your STRENGTH" (Mark 12:30-31).

91. The Decameron, unabridged
Woops! This posted on 9/20/19 accidentally. I will go ahead and write a review because I am more than halfway through the 30 hours of listening! I did not like the abridged version because it seemed like they selected the most disgusting and lewd stories in that version. The unabridged contains the remaining ones that are not quite as lewd and disgusting! I can see why it is in the 1000 Books to Read Before You Die list because it really is a pre-curser to Chaucer and Shakespeare.
