Chapter 4: I wonder how all the people in the book know Quixote is bonkers. Was his way of speaking that dated for this time? I have a perfect image of this don. Cervantes does a great job at characterizing him

I love this book. Short digestible chapters with funny adventures and life lessons. Crazy how old it is

End of part 1: this book keeps making me laugh. It reminds me so much of Monty python, I have sir bedevere’s voice going when I read dialogue from Quixote. The knight not being allowed to complain of pain is literally the black knight embodied. ‘Tis but a flesh wound.

Chapter 6: I did not enjoy that lesson on 16th century Spanish literature. 24 notes in a 5 page chapter, most of them citing sources I really didn’t care about

Chapter 2: why is this book so funny. Cervantes does a great job at making this seem cartoonish. Reminds me of Monty python. I wonder if this was the inspiration

Prologue: this was a difficult read. Sonnets and weird fill in the blank type poems talking about things in the book I have no reference to
1: so easy to read compared to the prologue. Turns out sir chicken thigh is a middle age man obsessed with the medieval equivalent of twilight? Hysterical
