Boccaccio for his manner of storytelling. NV - doubt any translation does justice but get a hold of Pasolini's film and maybe have a look at some of the stories again. Just love his play with character and how their fate can change in an instant.

Reading Auerbach's essay on Dante rn. Tracing his achievement and that's quite a book in its own right.
