I don't think this book needs much introduction. Suffice it to say that it's quite entertaining for a book from the 14th century. One readily observes how matter of factly certain topics and bodily functions were spoken of which today would be obscene or at least distasteful in some literature. Hint: Check out the historian, Melissa Mohr. Also, this prose version was highly accessible for those like me not given much to Middle English poetry.
