Most hosed up story? I put stars by the ones I really enjoyed and circled the below ones: Day 3: story 6 (the guy rapes the lady in the bath house followed by a 4 page rant from page 243-6 in the Penguin edition) Day 5: story 8 (the guy uses the ghost being killed by the hounds to get some lady to marry him) Day 7: story 8 (the guy beats the poo poo out of his wife, except the wife swapped the servant and he looks foolish) Day 8: story 7 (the guy who takes revenge by trapping the woman on the tower in July and flies and the sun almost kill her) Day 9: story 9 (the guy beats the poo poo out of his wife so she'll be less stubborn and make him breakfast) Day 10: story 10 (the guy psychologically abuses his wife for decades until he presents his not dead children as young adults) The North Tower fucked around with this message at 18:51 on Apr 10, 2020 |

Grevling posted:I'm about halfway into this. People have mentioned hosed up stories of which there are plenty but what are the funniest ones? I really liked the one where a priest tricks a guy into thinking he's in hell in order to have sex with his wife. Day 6 story 8 is only like a page and a half, but has maybe my favorite line in the book: "If you can't bear the sight of horrid people, my girl, I advise you, for your own peace of mind, never to look at yourself in the glass."

Bilirubin posted:on the final story of Day 8. This is perhaps the strongest single day since there are multiple funny stories with the same cast of characters, the two painters who have one over on the doctor had me really laughing Was that the one with the pig?

Hieronymous Alloy posted:That's really impressive honestly. I don't think anyone else actually read the whole thing :P I just skipped around a bunch for highlights myself. I read through all of them over about a month. I put little stars next to the ones that I want to reread and another symbol (book’s in storage while we move around, so I forget) next to the really hosed up stories like the one where the guy goes on a multi-page rant at the woman he raped in the bathhouse.
