The Golden Ass
Lucius Apulies
Okay, elephant in the room, a woman slept with a donkey. Not totally creeped out? Think about it when you are in bed tonight and believe me, you will be. This is actually the only Latin novel to survive in complete form which is random, not useful information but still cool. I found it hard to like this book because the author does not really give you a chance to fall in love with the character and then you are stuck with him for the whole book. My favorite part was actually the Cupid and Psyches story which is often ridiculed.
RATING: **---
