I tried, I really did. Just could not finish. After almost 2 weeks, I was still only about 1/3 through it. Has some funny parts, but just couldn't do the whole thing.

I still don't get it.

I was scared of this all time classic. But it didn't disappointed. It's so funny, a great window to the distant past. So worth to read even after 400 years.

Who knew a book this old could be so fun.

Where oh where was the real Dulcinea del Toboso?
