Don Quixote and his side kick Sancho Panzo go on some adventures together in Spain.  This book is considered a classic and it is on one of my TBR book lists that I am determined to get through, so I preserved through this book.  Don Quixote seems like he has lost his mind and what is supposed to be funny bits in the book I actually found quite depressing.  I wouldn't be surprised if he had schizophrenia.  All of the famous parts that you hear about in the book (like the windmills) happen very early on in the book.  I've mentioned that to others and I get the same response, "It must be because everyone quits reading after that." Haha.  This book was super boring and was 940 pages!  It definitely needed to be edited down.  I'm glad that it is over.
