---

A book that I respect for its importance in literary history - iconic duo, gave us common idioms, and inspired works of art. Considered the "first modern novel" with: complex characters, psychological depth, adventure, satire, and the examination between idealism and reality. Early concept of the unreliable narrator?

Did I love the experience? Complicated feelings...episodic, meandering, and benefits from slowing reading. But I will never regret spending the time I spent with Don Quixote and Sancho Panza.
