by Miguel de Cervantes This is one of those Classics that I've meant to read for a very long time. To my great joy, it immediately covered familiar parts of the story that I had seen in films, though not entirely in the same order, and the writing was engaging and kept me interested in the exploit...

“El que lee mucho y anda mucho, ve mucho y sabe mucho.”In "Don Quixote" by Miguel de Cervantes Don Quixote is one of my favourite novels, exasperating though it is at times with all those stories within stories knockabout humour and cruel practical jokes.

When I was young I thought this book was called A Donkey Named Oatie, LOL. My mother turned this book into a children's story starring said donkey. For that reason this book will always be special to me. I have read the original version and like it too, but no where as much as Oatie's tale.

This is a monster of a book. It is just shy of 1000 pages and it definitely felt that long. Long classics are incredibly intimidating which is probably why I had such troubles actually sitting down and picking this book up because it intimidated me so much. Although the length is scary, the content ...

I “audio-read” this book for about two months on my one hour daily commutes to work. It made the journeys very pleasant and I barely notice the dull sceneries as they go by. The journey of Don Quixote and his trusty squire Sancho Panza is much more vivid and enjoyable.I had my doubts about the basic...

Was impressed with how well this still works despite how long ago it was written. Reminded me a bit of 1001 Nights because the numerous nested stories.
