Il vaut mieux gagner de quoi vivre en plaisant au plus grand nombre que gagner la gloire en ne plaisant qu'à quelques-uns.Je vis en mourant, je brûle dans la glace, je tremble dans le feu, j'espère sans espoir, je reste quand je pars.Une large et profonde rivière divisait en deux un vaste domaine.

I admit, I took my sweet-ass time reading Don Quijote, but this is such an amazing book that I am still puzzled. Honestly, I really don't know what to tell you, other than: READ THIS BOOK! ... seriously, read it, this is amazing!
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.

Don Quixote is undoubtedly a masterpiece, for it is full of so many wonderful literary techniques as well as one of those works of fiction which have survived for centuries.

Tilting at windmills, Sancho Panza, Dulcinea del Toboso, a man made mad by reading too many books of chiva...
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.
A cold pudding of a book, a persistent snore in the next room... only the infrequent snatches of heavenly intonations redeem it from utter insipidity. I know I am going to be excommunicated for this pronouncement.*ahem* Cheers [a:Nabokov|5152|Vladimir Nabokov|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/aut...
