Yes, but don’t read that translation. It isn’t bad, but the Edith Grossman translation is definitely the better. Unless you’re fluent in European Spanish.
I'd start with Dumas, actually. The Three Musketeers, then Don Quixote.
three musketeers might be an easier start as it was episodically written, so it’s easier to digest and appreciate in smaller pieces since that’s how it was written
it's extremely long and crude and repetitive. you'll most likely get bored and drop sewious litwachu forever if you proceed with this butthole of a book. my advice would be to select something else from the IQfy starter kit and tackle cervantes when you have the necessary tools
Start with Hemingway to be honest. Very easy to read and become engaged by and really quite exceptional. The Old Man And The Sea would be my recommendation.
After you've read Hemingway, move on to Dostoevsky. Easiest place to start would be The Gambler and The House of the Dead. Then move on to crime and Punishment, The Idiot, Demons, The Brothers Karamazov.
Actually yes. Don't fall for the "start with the Greeks" meme.
Yeah starting with the Greeks is moronic, you gotta start with the Epic of Gilgamesh.
The epic of Gilgamesh is just a knock off of the Bible, even stole the flood.
>Epic if gilgamesh
Tell me more anon
Based. Greeks aren't even that good. I'd honestly start with Dante, but Don Quixote is fine.
The greek meme is only a must if you are gonna start to read philosophy
Start with Call of the Crocodile

zoophilia or??
something about the ifunny watermark really completes this for me

It's very long. I assume that you already knew that but, might be better to start with something shorter. Depends on how determined you are.
Building off this and relating back to

No. Why read a translated work? Also, read something shorter first (IMHO)
No
Start with Brandon Sanderson

Literally start with the Greeks.
It's the best book ever written, so I'm inclined to say yes.
Sort of. Read Catch-22 after etc.
