"Señores," said Don Quixote, "let us go slowly, for there are no birds today in yesterday's nests. I was mad, and now I am sane….
he brought his will to a close, and falling into a swoon, he collapsed on his bed….This was the end of the Ingenious Gentleman of La Mancha….
The tears of Sancho and of Don Quixote's niece and housekeeper, new epitaphs for his grave, are not recorded here, although Sansón Carrasco did write this one for him:
Here lies the mighty Gentleman
who rose to such heights of valor
that death itself did not triumph
over his life with his death.
He did not esteem the world;
he was the frightening threat
to the world, in this respect,
for it was his great good fortune
to live a madman, and die sane.

This book starts great, but gets old pretty fast as it is esentialyl the same joke repeated over and over.

Truly one of the most unreal things ever written. Book one is one of the funniest things I’ve ever read and book two is a reflection on fame and celebrity culture more interesting than almost anything anyone has written in the 21st century

This book was so funny and easily jumped into my favorite books of all time. I didn't realize it was two seperate books with the second being written in responce to fanfiction and the author hating it. Him name dropping authors and degrading their work was funny.
