That is on my reading list, I have been wanting to read that for years but have not gotten around to it yet. I love what I know about the story.
Currently reading in my book club The Complete Play of Sophocles. We started with Oedipus the King and what a dark and grim tale that is! Looking forward to finding a bit more about poor old Oedipus
Well, peers be damned, drop everything and get on that Don Q, baby!!! The alpha and the omega of novels. Truly. Would love to hear your thoughts on it.
Your screen name is perfect for it too haha
I think it is on our list for later this year. Somewhat aside have you seen the movie by Terry Gilliam The Man Who Killed Don Quixote? Stars Adam Driver. I really enjoyed the the film, well caste. Will probably be more enjoyable knowing the full story of Don Quixote
I didn't not like this film... nor did I really like this film...
Terry Gilliam has for years tried to make an actual film version of the novel itself and it keeps falling apart on him. What a shame.

Def sawrit. It’s cool. No movie would satisfy a book lover tho…I think Shawshank is the only film I ever saw and was like wow bravo. Maybe I’m missing one or two,..but the books are always better. I def have to see the Sofia Loren Quixote tho. That’s one of the next flickers I’m on. Love me some Sofia.
Whenever you get to Don Q def I highly recommend the smollett translation. It’s like reading legalese lol
HE loves to type, really really loves to type! I realized this week he has a affliction to tell 80 scenarios of 1 story.
I understand his talent to take a scene or aspect of two young lovers
then write a book about them,
700 pages of them meeting, obscure innuendoes, guilt, passion, then el' sayonara.
his short stories are the same.
still a great writer who challenges himself every novel.
The Wind Up Bird would be a great start, or not?
just by pass the war chapters though they are incredible but not that important to the wind up bird.
Reading, rather racing through and devouring, the compelling, excellent, fascinating, (and exceptionally well written) "The Curse of Bigness: How Corporate Giants Came To Rule The World" by Tim Wu.
