Ok
Don Quixote is single greatest work of fiction to have been written in western civilization since late antiquity

I really do think it's the second coming of the bible
Did you read it in Spanish?
Is it worth attempting to read spanish? I can speak decent spanish but I've read that Don Quixote uses old spanish which can be difficult to understand
Just read Grossmann like a normal person
I’d say if you don’t like Don Quixote, you don’t like reading, but I hate reading and I loved Don Quixote.
Quixote is great if you know Spanish. If you don't, then there's no reason to read it if it didn't connect with you after 50 pages.
It’s great if you don’t know Spanish
Of course but if you struggle to find any enjoyment then its best to set it aside. When I didn't know any Spanish, I was hardly impressed with this book but after improving my Spanish well enough to sight-read Calderon, Quevedo and León with ease, the book opened itself up in a way that was highly unexpected.
it was fine 50 pages in but 900 pages of the same thing happening over and over was too much
Wow, you don’t like a thing most people like, you must be very special and smart
Canon is not about being good, it is about being important to the culture.
Most people have never read DQ.
I agree, but DQ is a book that actually aged pretty well and is still very enjoyable.
Would you think so if it was not so intimately tied into your culture? Probably a question which can not be answered but a question which is interesting to explore.
comfiest book of all time, bro got me smiling every page fr
yes you're a very special boy OP. Now shut up
