Funnier than I expected! I desperately want to read or see a re-interpretation in modern day. This feels like it may be a rabbit hole for me Going to go watch that Wishbone episode now.

!? Idén av boken är så bra eller så dålig som det går. En galning går på äventyr, hittar på lite saker, saker händer ändå, han får de äventyren han vill. Men gör de flesta är denna boken mycket mer, den är samhällskritisk, den är ironisk, satirisk i stunder. Den introducerade modern litteratur, den hade tillochmed boken inom boken (4th Wall break) på 1600-talet! Ganska koolt. Mer än allt blir man förälskad i vänskapen mellan Don Quixote och Sancho Panza, sedan alla äventyren de gick på—med Rocinante och åsnan, om det var väderkvarnar, får eller dockor, så var det ett rejält äventyr. Tack Cervantes, du skrev en bra bok, lite för många ord, lite för lång, lite för mycket av allt! Men jag läste den, och jag njöt.(:
Hot take: Don Quixote var aldrig galen, han ville vara leva som han ville. Den första sanna drömmaren (tänker på när han behöver ge upp efter förlorat i slutet och vänder sina drömmar mot att bli något annat).
Aja! Jag är klar! Läs gärna.
5/5
4/5 om den inte var 1000 sidor lång

There is so much going on, all the side plots can be a little confusing at times but very enjoyable overall.

Maybe because of the current climate or maybe it’s cause I’m Mexican but I didn’t find Don Quixote as lovable as I thought I was gonna. An old fool who wants to make things great again. Sounds bad to me. Also it was very interesting to see a satire of a culture long gone

P. A. Motteux translation (I know it's one of the worst ones apparently but I'll read another version another time)
Absolutely hilarious. I'm still reading it at the moment as it's incredibly dense and full of footnotes which explain references to contemporaneous literature and folklore, but I'm just completely enveloped in La Mancha and the glossed up delusional world Cervantes creates.
