I had felt sad when I got to the end of the book, and even sadder when the inevitable happened. Despite how long it already was, I found myself yearning for more adventures with Don Quixote and Sancho Panza. Alas! I can't wait to read about this cornerstone of Western literature. I have a few ideas myself, but I'd love to learn more about why this was such an important book. I was bound to miss some delightful points.

Hilarious

3.5

Read “Don Quixote” by Cervantes for my Spanish Classics TBR. I had to give it 3.5 stars. I wanted to like it more than I actually did. I listened to the audiobook on Hoopla, 36 hours long, to make it more doable to get through in a reasonable amount of time. Maybe I would've gotten more out of it if I read it physically and took my time with it. I found myself half listening to it and then not knowing what was really going on with the plot, which was the main issue.
