‘No sooner had rubicund Apollo spread over the face of the wide and spacious earth the golden strands of his beauteous hair, no sooner had diminutive and bright-hued birds with dulcet tongues greeted in sweet, mellifluous harmony the advent of rosy dawn, who, forsaking the soft couch of her zealous consort, revealed herself to mortals through the doors and balconies of the Manchegan horizon..’(25)THE BEST MADNESS

I always looooove Harold Bloom's introductions!!! It sounds so cheesy but I seriously do aspire to one day be as well-read as him and just as in possession of deep knowledge of the literary canon.
Anyway, first chapter down! I loved the humor. I think I'm gonna keep it this way going forward: read one chapter in English before re-reading it in Spanish so I have context in mind and don't trip up too much over words.

Honestly, we might end up reading this behemoth together since I've been the busiest I've EVER been in my life with career/family things so I haven't had the chance to properly read since the start of the new year 🥲
Oh noooo!! I hope you do get time to read other things though. Feel like I rediscovered the joy of redinf this year. Though it will take me a while to get to don quixote. Hope you're doing well otherwise ❤️
