Putting that aside
Honestly I found it really dull, Chaucer isn't like Shakespeare in that he has great universal appeal, its mostly only interesting for Historical interests

I enjoy it. That being said, I've never read the Modern English version of it, I feel like you might be missing out on some of the way the humour falls.
Chaucer's English really isn't hard.

This part of pardoner description sounds familiar:
"Was never trump of half so great a sound.
This pardoner had his hair as yellow as wax" Check 674 verse.
