Wake up every day and thank whatever God you worship that you don't have to undergo surgery for gall stones in the 1660's. (Samuel Pepys' diaries discussed in their historical context.) This man's diary, which he wrote in a secret code, is a startling--and completely unflattering--look into his every waking thought.
