Can't remember why I picked this one up but it was interesting to say the least.
This was my attempt to read less contemporary work... and now, nearly 3 months and 40-plus hours later, I can say I’ve listened to the entirety of this audiobook. Never again. Despite my lack of enthusiasm, there are some great quotes and some amusing dialogue, but the lack of story could not be made up for. So happy to hear the words “the end”.
As my birthday present to myself, I have finished Don Quixote. I am saddened that I will no longer be able to listen to Sancho and The Knight of the Sorrowful Face argue about the proper usage of proverbs and the merits and demerits of chivalry. Mostly though I will miss the love the two men held for each other, but I am comforted knowing that, in whatever celestial literary heaven, Sancho and Quixote are still going on adventures and having some of the finest conversations ever recorded.
This book is highly regarded and well-known. I've tried several times to read it, and even when listening to the audio version, I end up abandoning it because it becomes tedious and repetitive. So I got about half way through this summer and I've given it up again. I appreciate the story for its inspiration to other writers, but I've got too many other books to read.
