Everything is in this book.
The back and fourth between Governor Sancho and Don Quixote at the Duke's property is rhythmically engaging and exciting.
Gambling has ALWAYS existed, it's wild to read a text from the 1600s talking about gambling houses and how difficult it is to close them because they are run by influential people!!
Like... Ugh, this book gets it. This book has everything in it.
I'm sleepy & tired.

Pitiful for a Saturday. Sancho is a great governor. I love him so much.

I'm speechless. Don Quixote's Advice to Sancho is a philosophical text in itself; rivaling Machiavelli's.
What a tremendously wonderful book. You go from Wooden Horses in the sky to a speech on Ethics in Governorship.
Sancho promises to eructate no more.
Cervantes gets meta with his comments on his first two attached novellas (The Man Who Was Recklessly Curious and The Captive Captain). Abed Nadir would've loved this

Soaring through the skies, mounted on Clavileño, Sancho swears he saw the whole Earth and it is as small as a mustard seed. It's so interesting to read that part because Cervantes never would've dreamed about modern aviation.

He depicts thoughts, reveals imaginations, responds to tacit questions, clarifies doubts, resolves arguments; in short, he expresses the smallest points that curiosity might ever d

Couldn't sleep last night, so I'm only putting so many pages today. What a cruelty that they're making my old buddy Sancho whip himself 3300 times for their sick elitist amusement. May the gray save him, and may God punish the unjust, and may Sancho get double the amount of pain in gold; for God rewards the meek and punishes the sly, and it's better to have two birds in hand than two in the bush, and it's better to h

I could've done better today, 27 pages on a Saturday is fine, but it could be better. I have been distracted for the past few days by useless distractions. But oh well that's just the way it is. I feel like I have been with this book for enough time now. I am okay for it to start ending. I still love it, sinner that I am, and may God strike me down if that's not true (that's a Sancho reference for those unfamiliar)->
