Some folks in my SCA kingdom did a Google Hangout reading of the first day's worth of The Decameron. Garb was encouraged, even though we were all at home. It was a pleasant way to interact with friends and acquaintances.

That is a great idea! What translation did you use?

[luscious_purple]

We used multiple translations, whatever we had on hand. Some of us used the Project Gutenberg version. Others have the Penguin Classics book with the translation by G.H. McWilliam -- I think it first came out in 1972. I have that book and it's a nice thick paperback. Still others used the Brown University Decameron Web online text. It's all good, and it wasn't too difficult to follow along across the different translations.
