Don Quixote book cover

Don Quixote

Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

This classic novel follows the adventures of Don Quixote, an aging man who becomes entranced by romances of chivalry and sets out to become a knight errant. Alongside his clever squire, Sancho Panza, Quixote embarks on a journey full of wild and fantastical twists, including tilting at windmills, battling friars, and distorting the Spanish landscape. Often hailed as the first modern novel, Don Quixote is a brilliant satire of popular literature and a fascinating exploration of the relationship between two men.

I am so glad I read it. It's my favorite piece of classical literature that I've ever read.      source

In other news: No one prepared me for the second book of Don Quixote. I was not expecting a novel from the early 17th century to start employing self-reflexivity. This book reads like it it was written by a time-traveler.      source

@jlockett02 @shermanranch1 By reading this book, though, I retrospectively find "Don Quixote" even more brilliant. (And it was already one of my faves)      source
I read Don Quixote as a child and then, reread many times as an adult. And he’s my favorite character.      source
