I told my Austrian friend that I was listening to Don Quixote and she balked at my pronunciation lol

The book so far has been whimsical, over-the-top, with outlandish claims and cartoonish violence. And now all of a sudden, without changing tone at all, Don Quixote and his squire come across three bodies hanging in the woods, then get surrounded and robbed by a gang, and the narrator cheerfully considers them also being flayed. Very game of thrones if not for the persistent joviality, fascinating times

Oh lol volume 2 (published 10 years after volume 1) starts with a meta commentary addressing the themes and plot holes of the work. Got to love a character interacting with their author directly

Pranking the crazy man who thinks he’s a knight by handcuffing him to a second story window while he’s stood on his horse #justgirlythings

Ye olde sitcom, complete with slapstick and hijinks, fake beards and faker stories, an ensemble cast and a loveable (?) idiot

What’s the word for weeb but about England instead of Japan
