bob_rubendunst 's review for:
Don Quixote
by Miguel de Cervantes
OK, I didn't finish this, but I made it to chapter 23, page 652 of 3112 on my phone. This was the Duke choice version, based on the 1885 John Ormsby translation.
This book can be funny and sad, and offers insight into dreams vs. reality, but the language is so far removed from the original, that much is lost reading it in English, rather than in Spanish.
So, at some point, Don Quixote says that Sancho is a coward by nature. I am sure, that Sancho thinks his master a fool, but still, Sancho dreams of ruling some island.
It's too much of a slog to go on.
At my current rate of reading, it will take me six months to finish this, so, in the words of Lynyrd Skynyrd,
If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be traveling on, now
'Cause there's too many places
I've got to see
