It is a surprisingly modern book. You've made me want to read the 2nd part. Maybe this year...MJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16352086947246077176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-85310257631311732202009-06-08T19:52:03.020-07:002009-06-08T19:52:03.020-07:00Coincidentally this is on my summer reading list a...Coincidentally this is on my summer reading list as well. I have read so many excerpts and I may have actually read the book once, but I never seems to get all the references to it and that irritated me enough this year to order it on audio for walks.<br /><br />I love going into it with this in my head already.boohttp://www.xanga.com/Boowasbornnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-44072545100510258572009-06-08T01:38:25.723-07:002009-06-08T01:38:25.723-07:00As a Spanish person I must say I feel a little bit...As a Spanish person I must say I feel a little bit ashamed that I have never read this.

I'm really looking forward to reading this translation when I get done with my current slog through the Spanish. I just have it sitting at the table to read while eating or drinking tea, though, so it might be a while. I'm on page 140 or so of 1000+.Nichimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07359298496725231902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-88535925821434623072009-06-05T06:56:08.932-07:002009-06-05T06:56:08.932-07:00DQ was one of the books I read for my comp exams, ...<i>DQ</i> was one of the books I read for my comp exams, and I really enjoyed it, but I probably would have enjoyed it more had I not read it in two very long days. (I had a schedule to keep, y'know.) <br /><br />I always like it when you tackle discussing a classic like this--you mediate well between the big picture and your personal experience. It's like you were designed to write general introductions!<br /><br />Gratuitous connection: I can never think of <i>Don Quixote</i> without thinking of Charlotte Lennox's <i>The Female Quixote</i>, which is on my (re-)reading list for the summer...Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09075041892999096779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-8038071924019596442009-06-05T05:16:50.588-07:002009-06-05T05:16:50.588-07:00I don't know whether to feel sorry for you or ...I don't know whether to feel sorry for you or admire you! I read a large chunk of this (with copious footnotes--in particular the lengthy explication of Rosinante's name sticks in memory)without feeling at all enriched. The entertaining picaresque nature of the tales did not make up for the hard work of plowing through them....Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13195458656221202202noreply@blogger.com
