Casanova's life was absolutely amazing. He sets the bar for how enjoyable life can potentially be. The book is not written as a present-tense dialogue like most novels so it is a bit more difficult to feel engaged, but the adventures he partakes in are so outrageous that you have to force your way through the lackluster prose. This edition is highly abridged, consisting of only a fraction of the complete auto-biography, but it contains enough material to get a clear picture of his lifestyle and will help you decide whether you want to read the rest.
