reading (Don Quixote)

I finished Don Quixote today. This is the first time I managed to get all the way through it, though I did make a sally into the first part when I was in high school if I remember correctly. It's a very long book, made longer by convoluted sentences that slow the reading pace. Toward the end the adventures and the sentence structure become more concise and easier to read. Bits of it are fun, bits of it are overly wordy, all of it is utterly insane. Perhaps, good for those recovering from back surgery or those serving long prison terms.
