Jonathan Compton is 80% done with The Complete Plays (Penguin Classics) by Christopher Marlowe (27-Nov-2003) Paperback
Just finished The Jew of Malta. Painting to see how Elizabethans viewed Jews. In that, Tamburlaine, and Dr. Faustus, Marlowe shows a pretty cynical view on life.

Jonathan Compton is on page 405 of 1239 of Don Quixote
Just finished the first book. Didn't like the first half, but then it all clicked, and I can see why this was such a monumental publication. Forget the stupid tilting at windmills bit. Everything pop culture knows about Don Quixote happens in the first 50 pages, and isn't that great (though it's necessary). It's what Cervantes does with so many elements as a whole that makes this great. I'll pick the sequel up later.
