Mar 5– From Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini by Benvenuto Cellini (1563) translated by John Symonds

Summary: Cellini escaped prison, his jailors are idiots, and he uses urine for first aid.

Commentary: Cellini is the worst sort of creative non-fiction writer . He starts off with a story about a guy thinking he's a bat and how he wants to build bat wings, but doesn't even escape prison with them! It wouldn't be any less believable than the story anyway.
