Read the Miller's Prologue and Tale.
Skim the Squire's Tale. Since the main interest of this tale is how it is a parody of a romance that goes nowhere, there is no need to read it as closely as others. Unlike the Tale of Sir Thopas, though, this tale--though it is not much of a narrative--has plenty of colorful description and exotic magic items to make it a fun read.
