I'm sure if I was born in the 16th or 17th century this would've been an incredible book. Don Quixote is a satire of a forgotten topic however, and this causes it to age less gracefully than I believe it gets credit for. It's foundational in the establishment of a new type of novel, and deserves praise for it's originality; but that doesn't mean it's a comfortable read.
