No creo que sea un favorito, pero me entretuvo al oírlo en audio. Muy pesados algunos parajes y otros muy cortos, la escena de los molinos es prácticamente una página. Estoy orgullosa de mí misma por haberlo leído al fin, me sentía como una falsa lectora de clásicos si no le daba una oportunidad al más reconocido de mi país. Como siempre me gustó oír el castellano antiguo y la forma pomposa de hablar y las cosas que reconozco en esa época.
Good amount of farts poop and vomit.
Part 2 was definitely the better one.

I know this is a classic and the most translated book other than the Bible - but I just couldn't get into it. I listened to the audiobook version, 36 very long hours. Although, the narrator did a fine job, nice voice and clearly read. As a parody, I didn't find it all that funny. Maybe it's just me and I couldn't connect with it. I found it quite boring.
This was a loooong read (a long listen, I guess, since I listened to the audiobook lol). This classic was a WILD ride. The trouble that Don Quixote and Sancho were pretty funny, but they were also a little mind-blowing at how Don Quixote was seeing a completely different world than anyone else. I wouldn't read this again, but I'm glad I did read it.
Another classic book that I really loved but just got tired of after 30 hours or so. Great stories and insights but I did not long to finish the journey with him..and didn't. Maybe I will go back and finish it in a year or two.

Long fucking book. Honestly it could have been shorter. But never really a moment of dullness. The book is composed of a lot of different vignettes showing the madness of Don Quixote and his squire. There's no real coherency aside the consistency of the two main characters. In a sense it really feels like a series of quirky adventures our knight has to tackle through.
Don Quixote also feels like a takedown to its chivalry genre the way spaghetti / revisionist Westerns are to the Western genre. It's an embracement of the absurdity of people.
