I'm listening to this one, and I'm having a hard time with the narrator, George Guidall. The way he narrates requires full attention. If I could give my full attention to the book, I wouldn't use an audiobook. Even at 0.9-speed I miss a lot of what he says. I love the book though. And the wedding of Camacho is legendary. I too would eat like Sancho.

The second part of this is becoming so meta and it feels like Ishmael Reed almost.

Why people would abridge this, at least the way they do it, is beyond me. They cut out all the best parts.

I don't think he's mad. I think everyone else is mad.

The audiobook isn't easy to follow (George Guidall), even though his interpretation is very good. He talks too fast, and I feel like I'm missing a lot, so now I'm doubting getting the audiobook. But I'll keep trying, moving between the audiobook and ebook.
