The classic novel. For a book that's over 400 years old and has such a large cultural footprint, I have to say that the read was pleasantly full of surprises. Everything you've heard of is in the first few chapters, and the rest goes in directions I would never expect.
The first book was a little hard to finish with all the sub-storylines, but the second is one of the best things I've ever read. It really affected and put into perspective my senses of history and of literary creativity, by making me realize that all the modern cleverness and self-awareness that we're so proud of isn't that new after all.

Every single chapter we get a new “fairest, peerless, and prettiest lady in all the world” and most of the “handsome and attractive” men turn out to be girls in disguise. Great book, all things considered.

Me obligaron a leer este tocho en segundo de bachillerato y lo odié, pero hoy he visto a Seventeen cantar "Don Quixote" y he venido a puntuarlo porque en su día no lo hice.
Le doy dos estrellitas solo por los seventeen, vaya.
Esta mini-reseña ha sido un poco kpoper. Perdón.

Satire, Spoof, and Philosophy meet to great effect. A bit long, but fun as a collection of a false history. Like Mel Brooks, Monty Python, and Austin Powers, it becomes very self aware in the final act (maybe even the entire second book, since it had the first book published in the second book).

My mother forced me to read this in Spanish in middle school. I also got quizzed on it. Now, I can say it was worth learning about this literary classic. Thanks mom.
